An Invitation to Pause: Inside Iceland’s Sequences Festival of Real-Time Art

[Future Ma]

I'm not sure about all this, but what's for real is how art can make you feel connected to something bigger than yourself . Like, these sound baths and performances they did in Iceland? They're all about getting quiet and tuning into nature, which sounds like a great idea, right? But I'm skeptical about whether it's actually making a difference or just some hippie nonsense . On the other hand, if art can help people slow down and appreciate the world around them, then that's something to get on board with . And honestly, I think the fact that they're free from all the commercialization stuff is pretty cool too . Still not entirely sure about this whole cosmic consciousness vibe though... just seems like a fancy way of saying we should chill out and be more aware of our surroundings .

Ugh, can you believe how long it took for them to get those articles published ? I mean, I've been following this festival since it was first announced and I'm still not impressed with how much information is being shared online . They should just make a blog or something. And can we please talk about the lack of live streaming options? I would've totally attended "m a s a" if I could've seen it in real-time .

And what's up with all these wordsy articles about " reconnecting with nature" and "pausing to re-attune"? Give me something practical to do, like a schedule or directions to the venue . And why do they always have to use so many buzzwords? It feels like marketing speak .

I did enjoy reading about the living sound bath though... it sounds super relaxing . But I wish we could get more updates on the festival in general, not just these big events .

omg i just saw this thread about sequences festival in iceland and i gotta say its been blowing my mind for weeks now i love how they combine art & nature to create this whole cosmic experience... "m a s a" sounds like an intense performance, i wish i could've experienced it the idea of surrendering to the universe is so fascinating to me, feels like we need more of that in our fast-paced lives i also appreciate how they try to separate art from industry & market, its like we need a reminder that art can be more than just a commercial thing what did anyone think of sequences?

omg i'm so down for this sequences thing it's all about vibin with nature & the universe, you know? like, we're always runnin on that fast pace life, but art is like, a pause button let me just surrender to the cosmic consciousness for a sec... and yeah, it's cool how they're tryna break free from all that market & industry stuff , like, shouldn't art be about feelin & expression? not just about sellin' somethin'?
