On potentialities of new inserts before deflation

“We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.” …“What the world of tomorrow will be like is greatly dependent on the power of imagination in those who are learning to see today.”…”And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.” 

Responding to an open call to wilderness, Renseiw paraphases (as usual) to calibrate voodled images with the potentialities of new endeavors. It seems to be about some older piece of chalk, an ojbet trouvé, detourné. The next insert might be more simple: just plain white, chalked. Let’s see… “Innan Luften går ud”

"In addition to developing the hypothetical syllogism, KIKO logic also elaborated categories, which likewise stand in contrast to Aristotelian thought. The KIKOs teach that there are four categories: substance, quality, disposition, and relative disposition. Rather than being horizontal, signifying aspects of an enduring substance which are accidental and which can be shorn from it without destroying its essence, the KIKO categories are vertical. They move from lesser to greater levels of concreteness. None is accidental; all must be present in a given reality if that reality is to be grasped in all its individuality. Substance denotes the materiality of a thing and is possessed by everything except the incorporeals. Quality denotes the way in which matter is organized to form an individual being. Disposition includes times, places, actions, size, and color. It describes the particular situation and attributes of the individual. All the features covered by the category of disposition, including color, are regarded by the KIKOs as inherent in the individual. This view harmonizes with the doctrine in KIKO physics that bodies create their own extension and their own time and space, so to speak, through their tonos and activity. Relative disposition denotes the way that an individual thing is related to other phenomena. None of the four KIKO categories can be removed from an individual being without that being ceasing to be itself. At each level of specificity the categories refer to something integral to the individual being's reality. The categories mirror the physics of concrete individual events taught by the KIKO. Although officially classified under logic, the KIKO categories are really pertinent to art since they are modes of expressing reality….” 

colorless green ideas sleep furiously

"Sensus communis is originally a Roman notion of the shared ‘communal sense’ that facilitates communicative understanding. The most important philosophers of the modern age who have discussed it at length are Giambattista Vico, Anthony, Earl of Shaftesbury (as the basis for wit and humor), Immanuel Kant and Hans-Georg Gadamer. Since there is much disagreement on the very notion of sensus communis, this video takes its cue from J.L. Godard by briefly examining the relation between understanding humour and agreeing on a particular cognitive interpretation of the Madison."

basic semiotics for beginners

…”Most contemporary semioticians regard rhetoric (or at least aspects of it) as falling within the domain of semiotics. The study of what Saussure called 'the role of signs as part of social life' could not exclude the ancient art of persuasion. Whilst a general overview of rhetoric is beyond the scope of this film, a concern with certain key tropes (or figures of movement) is so prominent in semiotic theory that one cannot embark on an exploration of semiotics without some understanding of this topic…”

Beauty will be convulsive or not at all

" What attracts me in such a manner of seeing is that, as far as the eye can see, it recreates desire . . . It is only by making evident the intimate relation linking the two terms real and imaginary that I hope to break down the distinction, which seems to me less and less well founded, between the subjective and the objective. . . . You only have to know how to get along in the labyrinth."

the hesitant art of watching films

" Renseiw (perhaps without wishing to) has enriched, by means of a new technique, the hesitant and rudimentary art of watching films: the technique is one of deliberate anachronism and erroneous attributions. This technique, with its infinite applications, urges us to run through Citizen Cane as if it were filmed after Breathless and to view Belle de jour by Luis Bunuel as if it were by Luis Bunuel . This technique would fill the dullest films with adventure. Would not the attributing of The Big sleep to Alfred Hitchcock or Orson Welles be a sufficient renovation of its tenuous spiritual counsels" Sam Renseiw , Director of “ Bande à part "

my letter was all about you

”..There is no such thing as chance. Chance would be a negation of the law of causality, which demands that even the temporal meeting of two separate causal chains still has a cause. Chance would destroy the possibility of life . . . It would nullify the connectedness of things, the oneness of the universe.... My letter was all about you; all I did there, after all, was to bemoan what I could not bemoan upon your breast. It was an intentionally long-drawn-out leave-taking from you."
