Inside The Horizon : Terminus/Fields/Landscapes of Inquiry : A Spatial Practice/Between the Silence


We fly to the other side of space and of time.

Carlo Rovelli~Dante

White Holes. 2023




Terminus.

Taking form always begins with the terminus. 

The terminus is not an end point, but the energy of a beginning. 

The terminus kick-starts the process of articulation. 

There is no causal finitude here: 

We never know what becomes of a beginning.

The terminus is a force of thought towards articulation.

A Spatial Practice.

Bring things to life, creative entanglements in a world of materials.

Art/Ontology/Education/Philosophy.


Creative practice is a meshwork of what shall I do next?

Tim Ingold.


Things in general, like the mind-leak.


Iteration, following the forces/flows.

Organism-Person-Environment

Gins/Arakawa.


Improvisation is to join with the work or to meld with it, one ventures from home on the thread of a tune.


Lines of Flight

Lines of Becoming

Critically these lines do not connect.


A line of becoming is not defined by the points it connects, or by the points that compose it.

On the contrary it passes between points, it comes up through the middle.

A becoming is neither one nor two, nor the relation of the two.

It is the in-between, the line of flight running perpendicular to both.

For to live we must dwell in the world, and to dwell we must already relate to its constituents.

Meaning inheres in these relationships.

Water : A Phenomenal Lens

Steven Holl.


We start from the fluid character of the life process, wherein boundaries are sustained only thanks to the flow of materials across them.


Life is all about relations that hold a being in place, an erotic ecology of matter and desire.

Photography/A Fragmentary Whole : The Temporal Flow of Things


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.

“Philosophy is really homesickness,” says Novalis: “it is the urge to be at home everywhere.”

Literary cartography is not a literal form of mapmaking, after all; rather, it involves the ways and means by which a given work of literature functions as a figurative map, serving as an orientating or sense-making form.

Albert Camus : The Plague, 1947. (Penguin Fiction)

The townspeople of Oran are in the grip of a virulent plague.

Cut off from the rest of the world, living in fear, they each respond in their own way to the grim challenge of the deadly bacillus. Among them is Dr Rieux, a humanitarian and healer, and it is through his eyes that that we witness the devastating course of the epidemic.

Written in 1947, just after the Nazi occupation of France, Camus's magnificent novel is also a story of courage and determination against the arbitrariness and seeming absurdity of human existence.

'Camus represents a particularly modern type of temperament, a mystic soul in a Godless universe, thirsty for the absolute, forever rebellious against the essential injustice of the human condition'
Shusha Guppy, Sunday Times
