More than 500 individuals from 26 states and abroad also contributed to the campaign. Accessed August 10, 2021. https://calder.org/works/unusual-project/cirque-calder-1926-1931/
Alexander Calder (/ˈkɔːldər/; July 22, 1898 – November 11, 1976) was an American sculptor known both for his innovative mobiles (kinetic sculptures powered by motors or air currents) that embrace chance in their aesthetic, and static "stabiles" monumental public sculptures. He didn't limit his art to sculptures; he also created paintings, jewelry, theatre sets and costumes.
Calder preferred not to analyze his work, saying, "Theories may be all very well for the artist himself, but they shouldn't be broadcast to other people."
Born into a family of artists, Calder's work first gained attention in Paris in the 1920s and was soon championed by the Museum of Modern Art in New York, resulting in a retrospective exhibition in 1943. Major retrospectives were also held at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (1964) and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (1974).
Calder's work is in many permanent collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. He produced many large public works, including .125 (at JFK Airport, 1957), Pittsburgh (Carnegie International prize winner 1958, Pittsburgh International Airport) Spirale (UNESCO in Paris, 1958), Flamingo and Universe (both in Chicago, 1974), and Mountains and Clouds (Hart Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C., 1996).
Although primarily known for his sculpture, Calder also created paintings and prints, miniatures (such as his famous Cirque Calder), theater set design, jewelry design, tapestries and rugs, and political posters.[4] He was honored by the US Postal Service with a set of five 32-cent stamps in 1998, and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, posthumously in 1977, after refusing to receive it from Gerald Ford one year earlier in protest of the Vietnam War.
An important Calder work is the monumental "Floating Clouds" (1952–1953) of the Aula Magna (Central University of Venezuela) of the University City of Caracas in Venezuela. This work is a Unesco World Heritage Site. Calder's clouds were specially designed to combine art and technology, making the auditorium one of the top 5 university auditoriums in the world by sound quality... . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Calder

noun ab·surd·ism | \ əb-ˈsər-ˌdi-zəm , -ˈzər- \
Definition of absurdism : a philosophy based on the belief that the
universe is irrational and meaningless and that the search for order
brings the individual into conflict with the universe
Semantics
(from Ancient Greek: σημαντικός sēmantikós, "significant")[a][1] is the
study of meaning, reference, or truth. The term can be used to refer to
subfields of several distinct disciplines, including philosophy,
linguistics and computer science. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantics
Semiotics
(also called semiotic studies) is the study of sign processes
(semiosis), which are any activity, conduct, or process that involves
signs, where a sign is defined as anything that communicates a meaning
that is not the sign itself to the sign's interpreter. The meaning can
be intentional such as a word uttered with a specific meaning, or
unintentional, such as a symptom being a sign of a particular medical
condition. Signs can communicate through any of the senses: visual,
auditory, tactile, olfactory, or gustatory. The semiotic tradition
explores the study of signs and symbols as a significant part of
communications. Unlike linguistics, semiotics also studies
non-linguistic sign systems. Semiotics includes the study of signs and
sign processes, indication, designation, likeness, analogy, allegory,
metonymy, metaphor, symbolism, signification, and communication. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiotics

- "Absurdity of Existence." Ronin
Winter, Medium.com. Absurdism is a philosophy that revolves on the
notion of the Absurd and how one should confront against it. The Absurd
refers to the conflict between the human tendency to seek inherent
meaning in life and the silent answer of the universe in which a harsh
truth arises that is there is no inherent meaning in life. Existence is
Absurd because of the conflicting views between humans and the universe.
The Absurd comes from the conflict between expectations and reality, it
is born from this confrontation. February 12, 2019.

- "The Absurd Ways of Camus."
Shreemoynee Sarkar, Medium.com. In what can easily be the most
legendary opening in modern literature, Camus sets the tone for the
entire novel — cool and detached, in which the protagonist, Meursault,
talks to the readers. Meursault is born in Algeria and he personifies
what French philosopher Émile Durkheim describes as Anomie — a listless,
callous, affectless condition in which the person progresses into the
inability to unify himself with social norms or share his sympathies
with others. April 4, 2020.

- "An Absurd Reasoning: Philosophical Suicide: The Myth of Sisyphus, Albert Camus."
Absurdity derives from the comparison or juxtaposition of two
incompatible ideas. For instance, we would say "that's absurd" if
someone suggested that a perfectly honest and virtuous man secretly
lusts for his sister. We would be juxtaposing the two incompatible ideas
of the virtuous man on the one hand and the man with the incestuous
lust on the other hand. The concept of the absurd as Camus has been
discussing it also consists of such juxtaposition. We are faced on one
hand with man, who wants to find reason and unity in the universe, and
on the other hand with the universe, that provides him with nothing but
mute and meaningless phenomena. As such, the absurd does not exist
either in man or in the universe, but in the confrontation between the
two. We are only faced with the absurd when we take both our need for
answers and the world's silence together. Acessed July 5, 2021.

- "The Absurd Courage of Choosing to Live." Jennifer
Michael Hecht, Onbeing.org. Camus opens “An Absurd Reasoning,” the
first essay in his collection The Myth of Sisyphus, with these
words:“There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is
suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to
answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest — whether
or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or
twelve categories — comes afterwards. These are games; one must first
answer.”He makes the seriousness of the question clear by essentially
threatening to think through the problem, come to an answer, and then
carry out that answer, even if it means to die. With a fierce wit he
judges that his subject is urgent compared with other questions of
philosophy, writing, “I have never seen anyone die for the ontological
argument.” September 27, 2016.

- "Revolt, Freedom, Passion."
Jon Awbrey, Inquirytoinquiry.com. "Thus I draw from the absurd three
consequences, which are my revolt, my freedom, and my passion. By the
mere activity of consciousness I transform into a rule of life what was
an invitation to death — and I refuse suicide. I know, to be sure, the
dull resonance that vibrates throughout these days. Yet I have but a
word to say: that it is necessary. When Nietzsche writes: “It clearly
seems that the chief thing in heaven and on earth is to obey at length
and in a single direction: in the long run there results something for
which it is worth the trouble of living on this earth as, for example,
virtue, art, music, the dance, reason, the mind — something that
transfigures, something delicate, mad, or divine,” he elucidates the
rule of a really distinguished code of ethics. But he also points the
way of the absurd man. Obeying the flame is both the easiest and the
hardest thing to do. However, it is good for man to judge himself
occasionally. He is alone in being able to do so." April 23, 2013.

- "Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Albert Camus."
Ronald Aronson, Edward N. Zalta (Ed.). Albert Camus (1913–1960) was a
journalist, editor and editorialist, playwright and director, novelist
and author of short stories, political essayist and activist—and,
although he more than once denied it, a philosopher. He ignored or
opposed systematic philosophy, had little faith in rationalism, asserted
rather than argued many of his main ideas, presented others in
metaphors, was preoccupied with immediate and personal experience, and
brooded over such questions as the meaning of life in the face of death.
Although he forcefully separated himself from existentialism, Camus
posed one of the twentieth century’s best-known existentialist
questions, which launches The Myth of Sisyphus: “There is only one
really serious philosophical question, and that is suicide” (MS, 3).

"His bald head glistening with sweat, Zhi Xiang peers into the eyes of a
stray dog whose coat has become matted in heavy rain and says
soothingly: "Let me cut your hair, cutie." The bedraggled pooch is
among scores of dogs hauled off the streets of Shanghai by police and
packed in metal cages in a foul-smelling holding area. More than 20
puppies are also crammed into a yellow plastic crate; one dog is dragged
in while inside a tied bag. But for Zhi's intervention, they will all
be put down in a matter of days. But Zhi is no ordinary animal rescuer:
he is a Buddhist monk and will give these dogs a new life either at his
ancient monastery or at a shelter he runs in the Chinese city. He
already has nearly 8,000 dogs to feed and care for. A few hundred will
eventually be resettled in Europe or North America." June 26, 2021.

https://sites.google.com/view/sources... At this very second, you are
on a narrow ledge between life and death. You probably don’t feel it,
but there is an incredible amount of activity going on inside you. And
this activity can never stop. Picture yourself as a slinky falling
down an escalator moving upwards – the falling part represents the self
replicating processes of your cells, the escalator represents the laws
of physics, driving you forwards. To be alive is to be in motion but
never arriving anywhere. If you reach the top of the escalator there is
no more falling possible and you are dead forever. Somewhat
unsettlingly, the universe wants you to reach the top. How do you avoid

The Myth of Sisyphus is a philosophical essay by Albert Camus and is
considered as one of the most popular existentialist works of the 20th
century. It gave rise to the philosophy of Absurdism, sharing some
concepts with Existentialism and Nihilism. The fundamental concern of
the book is the notion of the Absurd, which is best described as “the
conflict between the human tendency to seek inherent value and meaning
in life, and the human inability to find any in a purposeless,
meaningless, and irrational universe.” Camus draws from the absurd
three consequences: revolt (we must not accept any answer or
reconciliation in our struggle), freedom (we are absolutely free to
think and behave as we choose), and passion (we must pursue a life of
rich and diverse experiences). The Myth of Sisyphus explores the value
of life in a world devoid of religious meaning. His work can be seen as a
reply to Dostoevsky and Kierkegaard. December 11, 2020.

- "7 Life Lessons From Albert Camus (Philosophy of Absurdism)." Philosophies for Life, Youtube. [20:56]
In this video we will be talking about 7 Life Lessons From Albert
Camus. Albert Camus is one of the most representative figures of the
philosophy of the “absurd” or “absurdism,” and his philosophy has
inspired a lot of people in dealing with the absurdity of life. So
with that in mind, here are 7 important lessons that we can learn from
Albert Camus - 01. Create your own meaning for life 02. Don’t make
happiness a distant goal 03. Don’t be ignorant 04. Be a rebel 05. Spend
time with yourself 06. Be flexible 07. Choose Love I hope you enjoyed
watching the video and hope these 7 Life Lessons From Albert Camus will
add value to your life. Albert Camus is one of the greatest French
writers and thinkers. He was a philosopher, an author and a journalist.
He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957 and his most famous works
are The Stranger, The Plague, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Fall, and The
Rebel. Camus is one of the most representative figures of the philosophy
of the “absurd” or “absurdism,” which is a philosophical movement
having as its central hypothesis that human beings exist in a
purposeless, chaotic universe. Camus considered that absolute freedom
must be balanced with absolute justice - too much freedom leads to the
situation when the strong suppresses the weak but too much justice kills
freedom, and we need to live and let live. As a promoter of the
philosophy of the “absurd”, Camus believed that life has no meaning,
that the universe simply exists and that it is indifferent to people’s
lives. We are like Sisyphus from Greek mythology, forever carrying that
heavy rock to the top of the hill, although we know the rock will always
fall down and our life's work is meaningless. Our condition might be
tragic, but Camus considered that this exact condition hides a blessing
in disguise: life does not have a meaning, but we are free to attribute
it any meaning we want. His philosophy has inspired a lot of people in
dealing with the absurdity of life and even today, his philosophy is
extremely relevant. May 28, 2021.

- 'Albert Camus The Myth of Sisyphus - Is "Absurd Freedom" Completely Absurd?' The Philosophical Life, Youtube. [28:27]
ALBERT CAMUS THE MYTH OF SISYPHUS – IS “ABSURD FREEDOM” COMPLETELY
ABSURD? // In this video, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of Albert
Camus’ “The Myth of Sisyphus.” This will help you think critically about
a nihilistic approach to the meaning of life. Consider Sisyphus,
condemned by the gods to roll a stone up a hill, only to have the stone
fall back down to the bottom again. Endless pointless activity is his
punishment for betraying the gods. But, Sisyphus persists. He continues
the cycle. Why? Why doesn’t Sisyphus kill himself? Camus thinks
Sisyphus knowingly and willingly embraces his fate. This must occur in
the moments of awareness Sisyphus is afforded as he returns down the
hill to pick up his stone again. As Camus famously says, “All Sisyphus’
silent joy is contained therein. His fate belongs to him. His rock is
his thing….One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” What’s the analogy? What
makes our life worth living given the absurdity of life? The stone is
all of life’s burdens. We try to roll our stone up the hill, only to
have that stone come tumbling down, only to have more burdens to hoist
up the hill again. When we inevitably die we leave our stone to the
next generation. They now hoist it up the hill. This passing of burdens
continues. But all the stone rolling will stop someday. As the sun
expands and the earth becomes too hot to support life, human stone
rolling will cease. What was the point of all that activity? Didn’t it
amount to nothing in the end? There is no point. And the sooner we
embrace this fate we become, like Sisyphus, an absurd person. We keep
rolling our stone. In doing so, we take ownership of our fate. Our stone
becomes *our* thing, not a thing we’re hopelessly saddled with by a
cold and uncaring universe. We find happiness despite life having no
meaning. Is Camus take on the myth of Sisyphus comforting to you? Or do
you think his premise about life’ being without meaning is unfounded?
Do you think the universe offers clues to the meaning of life? Where is
such meaning found? Leave your thoughts in the comments and hit the

- "Absurdism - (Albert Camus)." Philosophy Vibe, Youtube. [15:07]
Join George and John as they discuss and debate different Philosophical
ideas, today they will be focusing on the theory of Absurdism. Put
forward by the writer Albert Camus, Absurdism is a position that
explains the human experience and the absurdity that comes with it.
Camus claimed that human beings have an innate desire to find purpose
and meaning to life, however we ultimately live in a meaningless
Universe. How should deal with the absurd realisation? Camus explains
his version of the Absurd Man, the ideal that human beings should strive
to be. Watch as George and John explain this position and critically
assess Absurdism as a Philosophical thought. The Script to this video

wondered what "absurdism" is, and how it differs from existentialism?
Do you want to know who Albert Camus was and why he was so famous? In
this video I share a simplified account of the philosophy of Camus in
his book The Myth of Sisyphus, covering the main points of the text. But
it doesn't stop there, let's keep the discussion going in the
comments! Post-script: I hope you enjoyed the video! I realize now
(after the video has already taken multiple hours to upload) that I've
misrepresented/ neglected to mention a crucial point of the text which
is essentially the point on freedom. ٍِRebellion for Camus entails the
freedom to establish a new mindset about the futility of life, as one of
unique and valuable existence, (p. 52-55, 63), contradicting my point
that "rebellion is our only choice" or that the reasoning is simply
"rebel because why not". However, I phrased it that way in the video
because I am personally not convinced of this definition of freedom. In
my reading of Camus, "rebellion" is not a condition of freedom but one
of necessity; if life is absurd and we don't want to avoid it entirely
by ending our life, then it's really our only option to keep going.
Calling that "rebellion" or absurd freedom is just a turn of phrase that
sounds good, especially in the French. If you're interested in reading
about different notions of freedom though not necessarily in relation to
French philosophy there's a great article by Isiah Berlin called Two
Concepts of Liberty I would recommend. If you're interested in reading
more about the role of rhetoric and myth in philosophy, I would
recommend you read articles written by Grace Whistler. Links to these

considered to be one of the greatest philosophers of all time. He lived
from the end of the 18th to the beginning of the 19th century and while
he is often described as a genius philosopher, he has also been given
less flattering monikers such as The Sad Prince of pessimism and The
Messenger of Misery, due to his particularly unique philosophical views .
He influenced the work of many great thinkers after him, from
philosophers to psychologists to physicists. Arthur Schopenhauer’s work
is part of the philosophy of pessimism and Schopenhauer is mostly known
for his famous book “The World as Will and Representation”, in which he
describes the physical world as the manifestation of an invisible force,
a metaphysical will. Schopenhauer's philosophy is based on the idea
that the world we perceive is not the real world, we see reality through
our own personal filters, which Indian philosophy calls "the veils of
Maya" that prevent us from seeing “actual reality”. Schopenhauer is one
of the philosophers who pondered the most on subjects such as
loneliness, solitude, boredom and what true happiness means. February

- "What If The World is Actually a Prison? | The Philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer." Einzelgänger , Youtube. [11:19] What
if this world is actually one giant prison? When the 19th-century
philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer observed the amount of pain that we
experience during our lifetimes, he concluded that it’s not happiness
and pleasure we’re after, but a reduction of the ongoing suffering
that’s an inherent part of existence. When we remove the veil of
ignorance and behold the harsh reality we live in, we might start to
question, as Schopenhauer does, the idea that, I quote, "this world is
the successful work of an all-wise, all-good, and, at the same time,
all-powerful Being." End quote. For Schopenhauer's view of the world is
one of agony — devoid of divine grace — and it has much more in common
with a “penal colony” than with the creation of a benevolent deity. Now,
seeing the world as a prison sounds like a recipe for personal misery.
Why not adopt a more positive, more hopeful perspective? Why look at it
with such pessimism? Well, Schopenhauer’s idea comes with a twist.
Within his pessimistic worldview lies an outlook that could be very
beneficial to humanity. Based on his essay On the Sufferings of the
World, this video explores Schopenhauer’s pessimistic outlook on life
and reveals a secret to be gained from it. May 6, 2021.
