Blue Room Near Fremont

When you come and stay in one of the elegant hotels around Fremont California you may be interested in knowing about the Winchester Mystery House. This is definitely a place to visit. It was built by Sara Winchester on the instruction of a Medium who said she was being haunted by ghosts that were killed by Winchester rifles. Wow. With all the gunslinger who shot a Winchester that could be overwhelming. The Medium told her that the ghosts were responsible for the death of her child and husband and that she was to move west and build a lavish home for them so she could have her eternal life. She worked on the house continuously, it was never to be finished because as long as she was working on the home she was safe from the spirits at least that is what the Medium told her.

Her story is fascinating and completely a mystery because there is no real record of her thoughts. She didn’t leave a diary and so many of what we know is on the word of others who were around working in or on the home. For 38 years the home was worked on all day and all night so there were always people around. Inside the home, there is the blue room and is were she was heard talking to “someone”. The blue room was the room she went to every night to talk with the spirits. It was equipped with a planchette board so she could transmit messages to the beyond world.

This amazing mansion is an endless display of elegance and uniqueness. The tour guides will tell you not to get separated from the tour or you could get very lost There are so many questions like why are the staircases are so unusual. Why was the home built to get lost in. Could it be her way of trying to trick the spirits away from finding her? This Victorian Style mansion built by the obviously disturbed Sara Winchester is a must see if you are visiting the area.

Purver Purveys NYC

New York is a city that continues to grow, and with each new motion of movement, it becomes infinitely more complex.  There are those who say that there is nothing new under the sun, and that we’ve reached a kind of critical mass, and there are no more good ideas.  There are also those who say that we’ve been recycling old ideas lately because it’s fashionable, and it speaks to a kind of green consciousness.  Then there are those who say it’s all been done already a few centuries ago, and the smart ones, or the awake ones, are those who know how to play with all the excess.

It’s all true, and depending on where you’re standing, it all works in one way or another.  New York offers something for every traveler, no matter what the sensibility.  Those who love irony will find it here, and those who are looking for innovation, or hope, will find those things as well.  With the sheer force of numbers of human beings, there is bound to be anything in this city, and chances are, there are several of whatever you’re looking for.  Click here www.luxuryhotelsnewyorkcity.com for fantastic accommodations, to make your experience here everything you’ve dreamed.  And when the irony or the freshness of the lodgings gives way to your desire to see new work, look for Ed Purver‘s installations.

He has an undergraduate degree in English from Oxford, and recently finished an MFA in Interactive Telecommunications from NYU.  He has shown his works at events as prestigious as Siggraph, and knows people as interesting as Marianne Kim.  He does work in design as well as art, but you’ll probably come to know him through his installation work.  He’s also done projects with the Builder’s Association and other performance collectives.  His projects often integrate video projection, making large images on building windows to make it look as though giants inhabit the place, or making a series of dropspots, where people leave gifts for each other and record the experience on the web.  He’s part of a new generation of artists, and the work is innovative, but with firm grounding in the ideas of those who’ve come before us.
