CONCEPTS OUT OF THE ACT OF DOING: GARDEN AND BEYOND

1. Filling and emptying

2. Reciprocity as presence

3. Reciprocity not as social but as composition

Cascading panels.
Slight mis-match= Design
Context/ground for reciprocity : Culture

Too exact reciprocity= invisibility
Fallen through a hole into undergound burrow.

Unseen

Autism could be condition of too exact reciprocity.

Pedagogy for Autism
=training for mis-match

The art of sliding

Spaciousness between panels
=living space
Co-habitation

Responsiveness- emotion

Slightly skewed so as to hold open a shared frame of reference

Basis of memory is on this re-angling.

Creating different intervals
between acts of repetition.

Turned inside out
Truncated
extended
Slanted
One against another.

Consciousness is the activation
which comes between expectation of a repetition and
its scuppering or reapplication.

Any one sequence whether convention or not, functional or not is
insignificant on its own.

It is the angling upagainst other "takes"
held through other orientations of other
lived-out habits that creates the ground for a habitus.

That traction- pulling out and infolding back in, between the two or the many.
These points of tension and release give rise to all affects.
____

One can not speak of proximity/distance.
Only of a continuously evolving experimentation with different degrees
of tension and release.

That traction occurs at every level both within a single body and between bodies and in every aspect of evolving form-making and its continuing and simultaneous disintegration.

The two bearings of completion and dissipation occur simultaneously meshing through one another.

There is this Cat's Cradle traction between all states.
