Concepts out of the act of doing

-Notes 2009-
(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
