The fall of a handkerchief in the wind is hard to simulate, and yet the handkerchief does it effortlessly. In some sense, the handkerchief knows something; it can do something that our best computer engineers can't do. The sea slugs with their hyperbolic frills are smarter than the geometers with their faces in the computers.
It does raise a philosophical question about how does the world, how do simple things like handkerchiefs, sea slugs, and corals do these things without computers? What I am trying to say is that the symbolic representation that has to be used when we use computers is not the only form of knowledge, there are other representations of knowledge that are just as powerful and probably even more powerful; and that is the physical manifestation of knowledge.
the physics of snowflakes and the hyperbolic geometry of sea slugs, to the mathematics of paper folding, the tiling patterns of Islamic mosaics and graphical models of the human mind
A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material, whose constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are arranged in an orderly repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions.
the search for structure, beautiful structures, perhaps to understand me/us/situations/possibilities. on the other hand, obviously appealing, the chaos the unmanageable/ the unclear.
not able to grasp the one thing, forgetting about the importance of the other thing
Hotglue is a “content-manipulation-system” that offers different approach to web-site making. Instead of being restricted by newspapers-like column layout the system allows free-hand 'drawing' and composition of the elements of a web-page. The new system is the tool for artists, creators, scientists and anyone seeking out for the freedom of artistic expression and experimentation by using a web-browser.

NOTES2:
-lecture about favorite things
-a chain of associations
-just drawing a line between things
-not too much of explaining them
-hypothese
-watching a movie half way, trying to think of how the movie ends
-from passive receiving to active watching phase of deliberation
- after understanding the curiosity is getting less
-consensus is killing art
-constantly adjust and readjust
-'oh no i don't get it'--- iam part of it
-actively fill it in with experience
-the artist has an unknowability
book:--the ability to unknow by Sarat Maharja---
-own speculation loosing it because of knowledge
-just not enough information leaves you with curiosity
-titles for a show can give too much to art work
-they should be nothing more then a motor to bring it into motion
-not to explain but being a point of departure
---expo in a little room,sometimes---, things he doesnt know, can't explain them, but is inspired by them, just likes to look at them!
-where knowing and not-knowing can coexist
-presentation is there to figure it out, no story given, constantly changing--staying curious
- ' confusion has always been at the heart of wisdom'
-that show is about knowing and what it does to you if you are not sure what you think you knowing
-how to affirm what you know?
Dem Pragmatismus zufolge sind es die praktischen Konsequenzen und Wirkungen einer lebensweltlichen Handlung, welche bestimmen, was die Bedeutung oder die Wahrheit von Begriffen, Aussagen und Meinungen ausmacht.
NOTES1:
-aesthetic is no choice, you get into the aesthetic
-politic is choice?
but we are not to be too sensitive
-we know it but we don't sense it
-people create space through action and daily practises
-there is no space as long nobody makes it
-how we produce our surrounding and how our surrounding produces us
-living in a fragmented world, not in a whole, but in pieces
-we get interrupeted
-to commodify ourselves we have to.......
-our senses are overloaded by anything around us.
that makes it impossible to exclude
----so we make the same choices
-ideas by themselves have no meaning
-produce something

Optical illusions show how we see
Slavoj Žižek
Die Tücke des Subjekts
Ein Gespenst geht um in der akademischen Welt. Es ist das Gespenst des cartesianischen Subjekts. Kognitivisten und Psychoanalytiker, Dekonstruktivisten und Anhänger des New Age, Heideggerianer und Habermasianer, Feministinnen und Postmarxisten, Ökologen und Enthusiasten des Cyberspace – alle haben sie das Ziel, dem westlichen Denken dieses Gespenst auszutreiben, das vermeintlich für alle Plagen der Menschheit verantwortlich ist, von der ökologischen Bedrohung bis zur politischen Unterdrückung.
Žižek hingegen verteidigt das philosophisch und politisch subversive Erbe des cartesianischen Cogito. Dazu nimmt er den Dialog mit drei zentralen Thesen zur Subjektivität wieder auf: mit Heideggers Gedanken des nihilistischen Potentials der modernen Subjektivität, mit der gegenwärtigen politischen Philosophie und mit dem feministisch-dekonstruktivistischen Konzept der wechselnden Subjekt-Positionen/Identifizierungen. Und natürlich geht es auch darum, den Raum für radikales politisches Handeln unter den Bedingungen des globalen Kapitalismus zu öffnen.

Wenn wir wissen das die Welt gesehen und verstanden wird wie wir sie interpretieren, ist Sie eine subjektieve Realitaet. Das bedeutet das die Welt alles sein kann, weil sie relatief ist.

The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.

Die Materie ist nicht absolut,
sondern eine Frage der Wahrnehmung und Beziehung
Materie is geen absoluut gegeven,
maar een kwestie van waarneming en verhouding.
Matter is not absolute,
but a matter of perception and relationship

More than simply putting flowers in a container, ikebana is a disciplined art form in which nature and humanity are brought together. Contrary to the idea of floral arrangement as a collection of particolored or multicolored arrangement of blooms, ikebana often emphasizes other areas of the plant, such as its stems and leaves, and draws emphasis toward shape, line, form. Though ikebana is a creative expression, it has certain rules governing its form. The artist's intention behind each arrangement is shown through a piece's color combinations, natural shapes, graceful lines, and the usually implied meaning of the arrangement.

Much more features!!!!!!
You have to try it
found this animation on my little yellow sticky's
This is the chair of Ed. His Chair.
It made me want to have one too, so comfortable!
This is the house of one of the most inspiring artists I know
