Sensorium : A Partial Taxonomy, Caroline A. Jones.
Drawing into the contemporary sociological imagination
Contemporary artists aim to produce specific relations with the technologies they adopt and adapt;
This schematic offers a partial taxonomy.

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

The development of subjectivity as spatiality hinges on architectural construction and is written in the very articulation of architectural discourse.
The Mobile Home
Post Studio Practices, Daniel Buren. Rem Koolhaas
A space is something that has been made room for... A boundary is not that at which something stops, but as the Greeks recognized, the boundary is that which something begins its presencing. That is why the concept is that of horizons, that is, the horizon, the boundary. Space is in essence that which room has been made, that which let into its bounds. That for which room is made is .. . joined, that is, gathered, by virtue of a location, that is by such a thing as a bridge.

House (Gendered House) is actually, both a private museum and a public library. It is a laboratory built on the threshold of diverse and interpretive and creative perimeters, binding architecture to the cinematic/everyday drama of statis and movement in the sensing of space.

Being Animal, Deleuze
Simple structure, construction that is mindful of an austere aesthetic, a liminal zone of contemplative solitude and lightness. Causality at play in the practice creating cognitive and playful frames of subjectivity. Art works by finding things and experiencing something that is beyond themselves, beyond being into the space oor interval of becoming.
LANDSCAPE and the authorship/design aesthetic of the picturesque Ownership of the land and those who live on it. Gillian Rose/Landscape/Feminism
Worked with the nature of the river, lived in accord with its ancient spring. Now we take ownership, straighten and pollute it and market it as picturesque. It is this particularly contemporary incarnation of landscape that perfectly reflects the anthropocene nature of our postmodernism.
The photographic pathology of the image creates the empty depths, a mourning on modernity.
BLUE, Melancholy and Creative Energy.

A pictorial environment of slowtime, an ephemeral apparition. Creating sensibilities that are meanings that are residing in thee process. Encompassing accidents and chance.

Creating propositions/absent abstractions into a theater of experimentation.

Luminosity, Liminality, Numinous,
Subjectivity, the conscious and unconscious thoughts and emotions of the individual, it is not stable but constructed in relationships with others and in everyday practices.
Entanglements that theorise (an analysis that enables) the social and the natural together, ie intra-acting with matter of our worlds in ways that are transformed by matter and ourselves and vice versa. (Barad)
The meditation of absence/touching lightness
Stones as a matrix of gathering slowness.
Paintings as cognitive landscape
Creating subjective thoughts and readings embedded through an awareness of space and time. Opportunities for something instantaneous to happen and be recorded.

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."

None of that means anything anymore. Artists are now more DIVIDUALISTIC. They discover themselves not by securing a role within the historic narrative of a chosen medium. But by INTERGRATING into a more DIFFUSE ECOLOGY that involves not only making art, but also putting on shows, publishing, organizing events, teaching, networking.
THE STUDIO is no longer a retreat, but it now INTEGRATES, IT IS ALL EXTERIOR. THE NETWORK places the artist as a 'like' ITEM within an INTEGRATIVE
INVENTORY or DATABASE.

The OLD WAYS, a JOURNEY ON FOOT, Robert Macfariane
“ 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.”
