Slow Materials/Philosophy : Spaces beyond objects/The Movement of Ideas and Feelings

 







Loose Assemblages : The Movement of Ideas and Feelings

Bento's Sketchbook : John Berger

Existence appertains to the nature of substance.

A substance cannot be produced from anything else: it will therefore be its own cause, that is its essence necessarily involves existence, or, existence appertains to its nature.
Ethics, Part 1, Proposition VII, Proof


Conscious minds arise from establishing a relationship between organism and an object-to-be-known. 
The Feeling of What Happens, Body, Emotion and the Making of Consciousness
Antonio Damasio. 1999.

Drawing is a  form of probing. And the first generic impulse to draw derives from the human need to search, to plot points, to place things and to place oneself.

The defining point of agency is namely its potential to transform the given.

Corporeal unconscious animated by sensitivities/sympathies, a putative affinity (haptic) between certain things including bodies and organs which makes them liable not only to be similarly affected by the same influence, but more especially to affect or influence one another. 

Intentionality/Sympathy/Sentiment/Difference
Inducing a particular set of ethical/political/social responses in actor/social audience
