LAFFOLEY ARCHIVE: Paintings + Retyped Text with Links
"I Wish I Could Read All The Details" ....
The Most Common Statement Made When Viewing Paul Laffoley's 6 x 6 ft Paintings in Any Other Format Than Full-Size & In Person.
This page will be experimenting with different ways of presenting the paintings in a way viewers can read the fine-print, see the micro-details in the art and actually be able to appreciate or learn the concepts, messages and ideas contained in the full paintings.
Aetheiapolis or Singularity cityNew: June 2008
COMPLETE TEXT retyped with sectional details from:

• THE AETHEIAPOLIS (the Singularity City. - 1987)

Comments:
The Aetheiapolis, or Singularity City, is a proposed conceptual city
with one function: to realize the true nature of the form of utopia.
The sixty-four inhabitants are made up of thirty-two people from the present,
sixteen from the past, and sixteen from the future. It is of paramount importance
to the concept of utopia to consult people from the past and future in order to avoid
being temporally parasitic to the social intentions of those already dead and possibly
temporally destructive toward the social intentions of those yet unborn.

THE SOLITRONNew: June 2008
COMPLETE TEXT retyped with sectional details from:

• SOLITRON (1997)
Comments: The Solitron is a design for producing perpetual motion.
As an object itself (a painting), the Solitron is in the tradition of American abstract painting,
especially similar to the visual structure of the later work of the Adolph Gottlieb.
That is, it is a "solid surface" of flat color that avoids both schematic two-dimensionality
and the full three-dimensional spatiality that a free manual touch engenders.

Also the design is psychotronic (a mass-consciousness interactive) device,
which can be efficacious in a two-dimensional or a three-dimensional modality.
The Solitron makes use of the natural motion properties of the correctly generated
solitron wave (which retains its velocity and form during energy encounters)
in conjunction with the mass-consciousness unifying capacity of lucid dreaming.

COMPLETE TEXT retyped with sectional details from:

• Orgone Motor (1981)
Subject: A Motor Powered by Meta-energy -
An Unrealized Dream of Wilheim Reich,
Symbol Evocation: The Cosmic Egg
• Orgone Motor Top Section
• Orgone Motor lower Section
Comments: In terms of its output, the motor is a simple reciprocating engine that
produces kato-enery. However, its input energy is Meta-energy, or in Reich's terms,
Orgone energy. Meta-energy is energy that is efficacious without motion,
whereas Kato-energy is energy that is efficacious with motion. - Paul Laffoley

COMPLETE TEXT retyped with sectional details from

• THE NIHILATRON (1984)

• The TULPA Machine
- The Space Machine or NIHILATRON removes the time-oriented aspects from an event,
thus causing an existing entity never to have existed
• CAUSE/EFFECT Event Systems
- Chiral & neutral time/space properties, event systems and types of change
• META-ENERGY and KATO-ENERGY
- The Concept of Different Energies with Qualities Expressed by the Universe as
- Randomness, Chance & Fate -OR- Consciousness, Free-Will & Intent
and comparison from "The Living Klein Bottle house of Time"

(painting from mid 1984)

• The BLACK-WHITE HOLE (1976)
- The Force of the History of the Universe to Produce Total Non-Existence
Subject: Cosmology and a New World View
Symbol Evocation: The Mystery of Natural Singularities in Nature

Laffoley's Comments:
"The construction of a world-view or a meta-history (which exists at the fifth realm of manifestation from pure revelation) is dependent on the previous more encompassing context- the fourth- which is the realm of cosmology. I have selected, therefore, as the basis of my new world-view, the entity from contemporary cosmology, which has taken on the proportions of a true symbol/myth - the black hole.
Added to this is the theory that at some time in the process of its existence a black hole becomes its inverse-- the white hole. The universe, therefore, is seen as a kind of vacillation of entropy and syntropy (like breathing out and breathing in) a cycle in which the goal of history is seen as the actualization of all possibilities forwards and backwards in time, constantly revealing new visions of nature."
- Paul Laffoley, 1976

the manifest and unmanifest universeThe Mellonchron (1985)
Oil, acrylic, lettering on canvas
73 1/2 x 73 1/2 in.
Subject: The Impact of the Future
Symbol Evocation: The Human Mind as the Future Existing Now

First full transcription of this amazing macro-meso- meta-cosmic philosophical masterpiece !
As I understand it, this is a chart (!) of :
The present moment's function as perceptual axis/fulcrum of all past/future actual and potential events, and
an explanation of the Human Chronon as the minimum elemental quanta of now-conscious participation
in the transformation of pre-conscious infinite expansion of matter as Diversity into the post-conscious infinite convergence as the Singularity.

But don't take my word for it, read the fine print on the Painting ... click the image at right!

Geochronmechane:
The Time Machine from the Earth 1990

First full transcription of one of Paul's most concept-dense
and important works, The Components of the Time Machine!

From Laffoley's comments:
"What has made the difference about the intellectual reaction to Wells from his time to ours is that the nature and definition of the intellectual has changed. Wells worked in a world populated by men of purpose and action, like Alexander G. Eiffel (1856-1923), Washington A. Roebling (1837-1926), Louis Sullivan (1856-1924), Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), Le Corbuster (1887-1965), Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), and Albert Einstein (1879-1955). While each active in their own pursuits, they also managed to maintain a perspective of the world.

From 1973 to the present, I have been working on ways to further the design of a feasible Time Machine. I have placed the main mechanism at the geostationary orbit of the earth for several reasons,
the most important of which is that to me the geostationary orbit of the earth is the inertial frame reference of the earth.
It is said that if the Time Machine really existed, we would already know of it.
I say it has always been here, and we are beginning to become aware of it.
- Paul Laffoley


Early painting from 1969 In Full
(VERY LARGE zooms of full painting, text in progress)

• I Robur, Master of the World
Subject: Redesigning Part of the Solar System
Symbol Evocation: The Natural Link between the Earth and the Moon

"I propose an earth-moon link-up through open space to form a simple, but gigantic motor. It would consist of double-layered geodesic spheres that rotate one within the other about ten miles off the surface of the earth and the moon.

These friction machines could be constructed of a transparent living plastic and would be linked through space by a tube of the same material. The choice of a living material would mean that repairs would be self-generated and instantaneous. The orbit of the moon would drive the motor and provide all the energy ever needed. The sphere itself could support an atomic train, able to stop at any point above the earth's surface and lower shipments; thus the time needed to distribute goods and services would be minimized. All buildings and instrumentality would be physically alive."
