Notes on a
Thom Mayne Lecture at LACMA.
Engage reality
Don't submit to it
(Whose Reality?
Who's creating it?)
Discussion w/ unknowability/contradiction
*There are no operational narratives*
We instill and invent value
(A value is something freely chosen, after thought and reflection, that we prize and cherish and employ in our daily lives)<=== Not Thom's, but rather my Boy Scout camp chaplain
Difference
----------
Sameness
Idiosyncratic.
1. Material (Substance)
-Diderot- the intelligence of objects
-Attach the motion (?) of surface.
2. Landscape (AUGMENTED)
-There is no nature, only augmented nature- Baudellaire
3. FRAGMENTATION
-Continuity + incompleteness
-use unity + fragmentation (together)
NOTE TO ARTISTS: Protect your intellectual and artistic integrity.
- Incompletion leads to the future.
Organization
COLLECTIVE FORM
Organizing based on
evolution
landscape
Statistics and analysis intersecting w/ sense ideas/perception
The work is the product of a process (THAT'S A MODERNIST STATEMENT<===my add)
