Tabula rasa (/ˈtæbjələ ˈrɑːsə, -zə, ˈreɪ-/) 

In Locke's philosophy, tabula rasa was the theory that at birth the (human) mind is a "blank slate" without rules for processing data, and that data is added and rules for processing are formed solely by one's sensory experiences. 

Tape Extracts:

Julie Shapiro: It's funny how it was like a part of my life then, but really was like a foundation for everything that's come since. Building of a community of readers, by involving people as participants, was part of the plan a little bit. 

Angeline Gragásin: I'm happy to support Julie and her work in any way I can. 

Tania Ketenjian: Whatever Julie is involved with, immediately my ears perk up.

Allyson McCabe: I know that she has a sort of zine name, which was Julie Atomic, and I was always sort of curious where it came from.

Whitney Henry-Lester: Pretty much anything  that Julie does I am happy to participate in.

Simon Roche: Someone said, I know this girl you should send her one of those. And, I did and then she was like Oh, my god, I love the printed word.

Tape Extracts:

Miyuki Jokiranta: I didn't really know what I would write and I didn't really know what other people were writing. I hadn't really seen anything posted yet. And I loved this idea that if I didn't peak, then potentially I would be revealed amongst a whole bunch of ideas and thoughts and images at the same time. And that that revelation could potentially say something, suggest something, present something. 

The Yokai Trilogy - Unbalanced and Improper

This episode presents a break down of Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' music video and launches into how to not make a film, yet derive a way of making from it. Professionalism be damned. It also ends with the last track of Aokigahara and bends closer to talking about the second record's films.

The Yokai Trilogy - Cohesion

This episode of The White Whale continues interrogating the films and dives into Garrett's history to learn more about what shapes the current work. Shifting from Jurassic Park to Fellini to the music video for Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', this episodes shapes context and provides valuable considerations for The Yōkai Trilogy's visual layout possible.

The Yokai Trilogy - Harry Partch and Tom Waits Walk Into a Bar

This episode of The White Whale returns looks at how one develops an openness with creativity and thinking outside the box of art. Where do we get our ideas? How do we accept our voice and interpretation if the surrounding thoughts counter it as correct? Why does it matter that you find your own road?
