The Black Workbooks : Forces of juxtaposed areas.

Harleston 290623
Research Creation : Revisiting the image archive as an anachive for movements in material matters.

Perception, folds in an infinite play of foregrounding and backgrounding.

Eternal objects are nodes of relation for this elastic process of pulling in and out of experience's continuum. Perception moves-with these openings towards changes in nature occasioned by minuscule folds that are endlessly unfurling and bending on the edges of juxtaposed areas.
Erin Manning, Deleuze, Relationscapes.

Like a mist or fog that makes their surface sparkle at speeds that no one of our thresholds of consciousness could sustain.
Deleuze, 1993.

Collage as the third aesthetic.

Ranciere argues for collage as 'third' aesthetic: it can combine two relations and play on the line of indiscernability, between forces of sense's legibility, and the force of non-sense's strangeness.

Transparency : Expressing the Unseen.


Transparency-the ability to see into and understand the inner workings of a landscape-is an absolutely essential ingredient to sustainability. In a world where more and more of the technology controlling our lives is not only beyond our individual control but is also invisible and incomprehensible to the average person, the landscape sreves not only as the foundation for our only genuine 'tangible' reality, but as the only mechanism by which we can really know where we are-and how and why as well. It can be argued that as humans we have a right to know where we are, how we are connected, and how we are doing.

Everyday/Quotidian Aesthetics.

Ranciere is perhaps the contemporary writer most alive to the productive and necessary confusion between aesthetics as a general field describing the realm of sensate perception, and the more limited meaning relevant to the field of art that has taken shape in the West in the last two hundred or so years. And it is this confusion (a confusion that infuses both the general and the limited economy of aesthetics) that we can find the materials to help us build a quotidian aesthetics.

Postmodern : Contested Landscapes for Melancholy



Postmodern : Ever Changing, Fleeting, Positive, Nihilistic,

"There are no simple concepts. Every concept has components and is defined by them.
It therefore has a combination [chiffre]. It is a multiplicity, although not every multiplicity
is conceptual...
Not only do Descartes, Hegel, and Feuerbach not begin
with the same concept,
they do not have the same concept of beginning...
Every concept has an irregular
contour defined by the sum of its components,
which is why,
from Plato to Bergson,
we find
the idea of the concept being a
matter of articulation,
of cutting and
cross-cutting.
The concept is a whole because it totalizes
its components, but it is
a fragmentary whole.
Only on this condition can it escape the
mental chaos
constantly threatening it, stalking it, trying to reabsorb it."

Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, What is Philosophy?, pp. 15-16.

Walking into Emergent Landscapes : Covehithe Beach
The OLD WAYS, a JOURNEY ON FOOT, Robert Macfarlane

“ Walking was a means of personal myth-making, but it also shaped his everyday longings:
 Edward Thomas not only thought on paths and of them, but also with them.”

“To Thomas, paths connected real places but they also led out-wards to metaphysics, backwards to history and inward to the self. These traverses- between the conceptual, the spectral and the personal-occur often without signage in his writing, and are among its most characteristic events. He imagined himself in topographical terms.”
