This work of Immersion art is performed by Chase Alias and photographed by David Pollack. Immersion Artistist David Pollack spends years developing his characters. The development of these two characters happened over a period of 7 years. Cubby’s Basehouse and then Chase Alias’ Craigslist are David’s newest series of works.

Immersion Art, Method Acting s a phrase that loosely refers to a family of techniques by which actors try to create in themselves the thoughts and emotions of their characters in an effort to develop lifelike performances. It can be contrasted with more classical forms of acting, in which actors simulate thoughts and emotions of their character through external means, such as vocal intonation or facial expression without psychological involvement on their playing role. Though not all Method actors use the same approach, the "method" in Method acting usually refers to the practice, advocated by Lee Strasberg, by which actors draw upon their own emotions and memories in their portrayals, aided by a set of exercises and practices including sense memory and affective memory.

Affective memory, also known as emotional memory, is an element of Stanislavski’s ‘system’ and of Method Acting, two related approaches to acting. Affective memory requires actors to call on personal memories of situations similar (or more recently a situation with similar emotional import) to those of their characters. Stanislavski believed actors needed to take emotion and personality to the stage and call upon it when playing their character. He also explored the use of objectives, the physical body’s effect on emotions, and empathizing with the character.

"Emotional recall" is the basis for Lee Strasberg’s Method Acting. "Sense memory" is used to refer to the recall of physical sensations surrounding emotional events (instead of the emotions themselves). The use of affective memory remains a controversial topic in acting theory. (Wikipedia 2010)

Funny story. I’v been looking or a board for a couple of weeks now, but not finding one I was happy with.

At the same time I decided to thin the bike herd from the living room, and posted my Mountain Cycle – San Andreas. So up went the pick to craigs list.

About this same time I fine a 7’4" JC, just down the road. I email back and forth with the owner, making sure the board is available and such. Then I get a hit on the San Andreas. From guess who. Craigslist obscures your identity, so he had no idea he was sending a message to me. The one who wanted his board.

Worked out perfectly in the end;
He got a bike he’s wanted for years (its an older San Andreas)
I got a board that should be perfect for the summer
And it was an even trade, i.e…
He didn’t have to turn over the $ $ $ to his wife
I didn’t need to beg my wife for the $ $ $

Perfect ending….

Now, lets all hope for a nice summer depression in the Pacific.
