Hi David,
I was the one who post on your youtube channel this morning. I was sick yesterday and wake up at 4 with a fever. But well thanks for the video is an excellent material you have achieve.
And you make me think about the Publius enigma messages.
Prologue:
So the year is 1994:
DARPA project "Internet" was on his prime and universities were taken the project to continue and start to open for the public.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARPA
In parallel the BBS started to became popular
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletin_board_system . And this were guys on their home computer that have this BBS and have the deamon service of the newsgroup. So they offer this service to the public to share software and messages. This was fun I used to have one and have two lines so other people could connect to my computer. One person will log onto this computer by phone lines and chat in this newsgroups. In the night the computers of different BBS will communicate and share their message. In this newsgroups on the internet, i think not on homes, have this deamon service of anonymous messages that is why the bootleg of the messages this was a deamon service. (Deamon were programs that performed something, like a program, thats what they were called, I don't know why).
So whit this prologue what I wanted to point out is that Publius was connected to a BBS by phone line. Also by that time the guys that were there also were connected by BBS. I remember that when noise appears and wanted to erase something also noise appear as strange characters. So I guess this is the noise that appeared on his messages and that is why he re-post them.
Note: The word Flame was used when someone was talking you dirt.
So after this prologue lets start.
Let talk about Publius messages:
"There is a central purpose and a design solution"
As an artist and us as spectators what do the artist is trying to communicate with its work? This is were the Listen, read, think and communicate come from. Talk about their art on this "The Division Bell"
"Leading the blind while I stared out the steel in your eyes"
The band leading their fans while you look at this messages on your computer screen burning your eyes. May be...
So on the blimp: they wanted to make noise with their fans on the united states. I mean they sold 3 million copy over there. WOW!
Here are my thoughts.
Cover artwork: A Church a Parliament? This is were people will join to communicate. It have been said it is a church so this is were the plaza is, where people will join to communicate. To share ideas and time.
"Cluster One"
Artwork: is some kind of astrology think looking and listening into space.
We as a human kind have spend millions to listen to the sky.
Song: The noise on the song is us listening in space. So is Pink Floyd listening in this newsgroup?
So this is - LISTEN-
"What Do You Want from Me"
Artwork: A disco ball where we join to listen to music. Fan and Band? A concert? May be.
Song: This is the band speaking. Communicating to their fans. Maybe because their "great music" is subject to multiple interpretations the fans have been asking a look of strange questions... ??? They are just making art...
- The message of Pink Floyd to their fans.
- Communicating
"Poles Apart"
Artwork: They are from UK right? They are poles apart from all. I think they were speaking to their FAN in USA. So Earth red, ocean blue, and space. From one person to the other the ocean is separating them.
Song: I can figure this out right but maybe is the band speaking about Sid and Roger. Baby crying? Is their project come mature or is it a baby?
- The message Pink Floyd have been delivering on their other art work about Sid about Roger?
"Marooned"
Artwork: Two people communicating and maybe the steel face is representing the BBS chat room, specially the alt.music.pink-floyd. Band, fans and the internet guys (BBS).
Song: Instrumental with some rumble noises. The phone connection?
"A Great Day for Freedom"
Artwork: Flowers: Computers. Water: space in between this computers. And their communications. Newspapers: Representing the old in a museum? Are they going to disappear?
Song: Freedom of communication? The information era is it starting?
Left my side? All digital now?
Are they been listening to their fans on the BBS? They cannot open up?
Is people going to lose the patriotism because know they are communicating to each other? This question arise listening of what they want to say as they are the artist and trying to communicate something to their fans. I mean this is what the 60s were all about right? One nation one world no war?
"Wearing the Inside Out"
Artwork: A guy in his home watching the TV and the other light is his computer. With this I guess Pink Floyd have been communicating in this chat room since 1994.
Song: Pink Floyd communicating with their fans. They are making this new album The Division Bell. Paler? May be they were on their homes and not even they will go out to take the sun light. They are reuniting to make this album...
"Take It Back"
Artwork: The out doors. The planing for the tour.
Song: Making planes for the tour. Did they needed money to go on tour? Is she the bank?
"Coming Back to Life"
Artwork: Going on tour crossing the sea. Hopping they don't die doing it? jajaja and American police reviving the guy?
Song: Speaking to Roger? Problems with the legal situation on the band?
"Keep Talking"
Artwork: People communicating in social circles.
Song: Planning Publius Enigma? Arising question from their fans to them? Publicity? I mean they are communicating to their fans by this BBS.
"Lost for Words"
Artwork: Fighting globes. The BBS "Flames"? The people on the alt.music.pink-floyd? are they so mean people?
Song: Silence because this will get ugly on the BBS. So their enemies are on the newsgroup? So Publius will open the door? Are they talking to the guys on this newsgroup? May be.
"High Hopes"
Artwork: A guy walking on a desert land walking to their future? A factory leaving the land?
Song: Before electronics they were magnets. This was something magic. So this is the band telling a story about who they are. The new are of communications. Is like they were farm boys but have embrace change and walking to this new world. The bells is the church are of a church to go to the plaza is this the BBS newsgroup?
I guess the theme of The Division Bell is the album about the making of The Division Bell and Publius Enigma and the BBS newsgroup.
As a conclusion the price is that they were here in this alt.music.pink-floyd speaking to their fans.
The question is: Are they still here?
I guess this was the secret. They were talking in here with their fans.
With Love,
PiBoy
