(Garden and beyond*)
1. Filling and emptying
2. Reciprocity as presence
3. Reciprocity not as social but as composition
Cascading panels, Slight mismatch
=design
Context/ground for reciprocity: Culture
___
Too exact reciprocity = invisibility: fallen in a hole into underground burrow.
Unseen
Autism could be condition of too exact reciprocity.
Pedagogy for autism = training for mismatch
The art of sliding
Spaciousness between panels = living space
Co-habitation
Responsiveness- emotion
Slightly skewed so as to hold open a shared frame of reference.
Basis of memory is on this re-angling.
Creating different intervals between acts of repetition
Turned inside out
Truncated
Extended
Slanted
One surface against another
Consciousness is the activation which comes between expectation of a repetition and its scuppering or re-application.
Any one sequence whether conventional or not, functional or not is insignificant on its own.
It is its angling up against other “takes” held through other orientations of other lived out habits that create the ground for a habitus.
That traction comes out of the act of putting out and infolding back in between the one and the two and the many. It accumulates as a cross-stitching over and over again into something both dense and gaseous.
These points of traction and release give rise to all affects.
One cannot speak of proximity/distance. Only of a continuously evolving experimentation with different degrees of tension and release.
That traction occurs at every level both within a single body and between bodies and in every aspect of evolving form-making and its continual and simultaneous disintegration.
The two bearings of completion and dissipation occur simultaneously meshing through one another.
This is the Cat’s Cradle traction between all states
