Temporary is closing on 1 September 2017. No further experiments will be scheduled, though you can still pledge Temps as supported experiments may form a starting programme for the post-Temporary project.
After giving one of my friend a new haircut in the expression of her gratitude she gave me a Japanese lucky “beckoning cat” called maneki-neko. I've noticed that this small gesture made the whole interaction even more interesting and since then whoever ask me to cut his/her hair I ask back for non-monetary remuneration.
Around the same time I've watched "Withnail & I" after which the following quote stuck in my head: “I don’t advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hair are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight.” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NeBfY6U4n8)
From those two episodes, the idea of my new fictional business called "Aerial Hair" came into being (blessed by maneki-neko of course). The deal is simple: I cut your aerial hair and you pay in return with everything but money. It can be a story telling, massage, Temps transfer, whatever else.... For those still not convinced I have to add that beside non-professional cutting skills I have a strong sense of aesthetics too.
To find out if hair are our aerials.
