Spatial Representation/Practice : Discursive photography and documentation
Blind Process
A totally blind process can by definition lead to anything; it can even lead to vision itself.
Jacques Monod
The Poetics of Space : The house, from cellar to garret. The significance of the hut.
"He will revive the primitivity and the specificity of the fears. In our civilization, which has the same light everywhere, and puts electricity in its cellars, we no longer go to the cellar carrying a candle. But the unconscious cannot be civilized. It takes a candle when it goes to the cellar."
Gaston Bachelard.
"All religions, nearly all philosophies, and even a part of science testify to the unwearying heroic effort of mankind desperately denying its contingency."
Jacques Monod,
The Human/Straw Dogs, John Gray.
Is there still an aesthetic illusion? And if not, a path to an “aesthetic” illusion, the radical illusion of secret, seduction and magic? Is there still, on the edges of hypervisibility, of virtuality, room for an image?
— Jean Baudrillard, The Conspiracy of Art, 2005

A heuristic technique (/hjᵿˈrɪstᵻk/; Ancient Greek: εὑρίσκω, "find" or "discover"), often called simply a heuristic, is any approach to problem solving, learning, or discovery that employs a practical method not guaranteed to be optimal or perfect, but sufficient for the immediate goals.

Immersive
the "cave" paradigm, the virtual helmet, the black-box video, the earphone set
Alienated
taking technology and "making it strange," exaggerating attributes to provoke shock, using technologies to switch senses or induce disorientation
Interrogative
work that repurposes or remakes devices to enhance their insidious or wondrous properties; available data translated into sensible systems
Residual
work that holds on to an earlier technology, repurposes or even fetishizes an abandoned one
Resistant
work that refuses to use marketed technologies for their stated purpose; work that pushes viewers to reject technologies or subvert them
Adaptive
work that takes up technologies and extends or applies them for creative purposes, producing new subjects for the technologies in question

Collages : Diversions, Contradictions and Anomalies.
Collage's integral methods of discordance and displacement have so insistently reflected turbulent developments in twentieth century art, science and geopolitics that our response might be to categorise the whole genre as iconoclasm or subversive fantasy.

Lingering at the threshold between word and image
Cy Twombly
Claire Daigle
Although his work resonates strongly with generations of younger artists, ranging from Brice Marden to Richard Prince to Tacita Dean to Patti Smith, it has a general propensity to polarise its audience between perplexity and unbridled admiration.
Certainly, the fortuities of a name are being pushed too far here, but what does Twombly do but offer up words in all of their resonance: literal, metaphoric, corporeal, material? His citations often have the vanitas effect of graffiti: ‘Cy was here’. Lingering at the threshold between word and image, Twombly renders visible those things – experience, emotion, the body’s share – that lie beyond the reach of verbal articulation.
