CODE: SELFLESS – with Harold Schellinx – PART TWO – GINGER HANDS!

The following posts were written before the sad and unexpected passing of Harold. We leave them up in his memory.

Best known as an experimental electronic musician working in Europe’s avant-garde underground* since the late 1970s, Harold Schellinx decided to take over WORM for a midsummer week in the hope that we all don’t come. And – get this – we don’t even have to not come to WORM, as he’s often somewhere else, with other people. That’s because the whole thing is, CODE: SELFLESS. 

ANYWAY Harold is an interesting chap so we asked him questions about what to do with our hands, and the curse of shopping and he told us about silence, and what to do with some ginger.

*We neither

Question three: What things should people hold in their hands?

Answer three: 

Silence in the one, a pen in the other.

Question four: Can you give an example of modern living that is not related to shopping?

Answer four:

(Modern, in the sense of ‘contemporary’:) The other day I made a pic with my smart-phone of my handwritten copy of Yungwei and I’s recipe for ginger soup. I then followed up on the phone’s proposal to copy the text that’s in the picture, and paste it in a text message, to send to a friend that wanted to try to make our ginger soup.

So that is what I did, almost absent-mindedly.

And here’s the instructions that the friend, instantly, received:
