Serendipity... (Art Only Forum 10/13/99)

Looks like it's working. Just a dip in the submittal rate... (in reference to the fourth day of the forum's operation)

I guess we've run almost out of pictures without nudity. Nah! Not possible.

This picture, along with a bunch I've posted recently are from goth/industrial clubs in San Diego. I didn't really stumble into this randomly. I was out looking for fetish models and stumbled into it somewhat serendipitously.

Which brings me to a book I just read. Umberto Eco's Serendipities. Now the book starts by talking about misconceptions that when explored provided beneficial results - serendipity. But it went on to talk about the Bavarian Illuminati, the Freemasons, the Scottish Rite, the Elders of Zion, Knights of Malta and the Rosicruceans, as well as the use of I Ching by Liebnitz as the precursor to the binary system in his formal logic, but discovered while trying to invent a universal language in the tradition of those looking for the Original Hebrew of Adam.

There's also a bit about creativity.

But finding one thing, while looking for another, at the very same time as I read this book, was a coincidence. Or maybe not...

It might have been the Illuminati...

Anyone else expeience serendipity, or are all your works masterfully planned, perfectly executed and exactly as you wanted them?
