    WARNING: PROJECTIVE GEOMETRY MAY PUT HOLES IN YOUR BRAIN.  YOUR MIND MIGHT LEAK OUT - IF YOU WANT YOUR MIND IN YOUR BRAIN STOP READING NOW. Okay, here is a geometric exercise that I find very interesting.  It is, however, more complicated than the previous one and will likely require you to actually take out a pencil (not a pen, please, and go for mechanical - 0.5mm lead… do it for me), a ruler, and unlined paper.

     

    HARMONIC POINTS - Phase 1

    The short setup first, then construction hints, then process, then comments:

     

  1. Draw line a.
  2. Mark point A on line a.
  3. Read the rest of this entry »

my fingers are tapping to an unknown rhythm
a sightless pattern just below consciousness
feeding somewhere in the background of my eyes
it swirls, dives, escalates, tumbles
and words - my God, words! appear

mysteries profuse my skin
invisible knives punctuating reality
letting the dreams out
all the while
tap tap tap
 
and more: you, unquietly reaching
impossibly leeching, receiving 
growing dreams of my dreams
with another blind seeming
a different kind of feeding

we, the complex together
cradle each other now
discovering pathways to ourselves
shouting keys and rending walls
loosing what we have found

Now, another challenge was proposed, to proceed to a third transposition inspired by Varela’s star cybernetics.

My response:

simplistic/complex —> multi-ordered simplexity 
how to fix/how to engage —> ascripted re-presencing 
compulsive mappings/flexible relations —> constructive deconstruction 
textbook categorizations/situational phenomenologies —> second-order homeodynamics 
control the universe through mapping/participate in the universe through walking its territory –>  co-construction of universe and self 
dominant masculinist purposefulness/creatively shifting between feminine/masculine —> post-dual dynamics 
shift power from the described to the describer/described and describer abdicate power to each other —> described as describer, describer as described 
psychic inflation and self-magnification/psychic robustness and continuous self-recontextualization —> the fractal self 
a grand pyramid with the advocate on top/a complex web with the advocate teleporting between nodes —> a-nodal/plen(r)um-nodal phase space 
lacking poetic insights/poetry as rhythmic healing —> language as regenerative/dissociative capacity 
lacking a feeling for the concrete/able to connect without abstraction through action —> recursive manifestation/abstraction 
lacking embodiment of an aesthetic/able to create and shift between evolving aesthetics —> the aesthetics of aesthetics

my knees are bent for you
my skin is quiet
I shed drops of Witnessing
into the waiting of your hands

the shadows have ascended
silver rays reflected
your world is becoming
it is in all the voices
