If I Have Not Love
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels,
but have not love,
I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal!
1 Corinthians 13 verse 1

panel ovolo single quirk
In architecture, an OVOLO is a round, convex moulding. In Roman work it is usually a quarter circle in section; in Greek work it is flatter, and is equivalent to the echinus; that is, it has in section the elastic curve of the shell of the sea urchin. In mediaeval architecture it is not distinguishable from the multitude of convex mouldings, of all sections, which are used.
In building, a QUIRK is a piece of ground taken out of any regular ground plot or floor, so as to make a court, yard, etc. In architecture a quirk is a small channel, deeply recessed in proportion to its width, used to insulate and give relief to a convex rounded moulding.

Transparent Things
A thin veneer of immediate reality is spread over natural and artificial matter, and whoever wishes to remain in the now, with the now, on the now, should please not break its tension film. Otherwise the inexperienced miracle worker will find themselves no longer walking on water but descending upright among staring fish.

The Eye of God
All things in constant motion.
Stillness is a dream, fit only for poetry.
Every position is always defined relative to other things that are also in motion.
A fixed point could only be the Eye of God.

1848 1876 1897
1848: "Year of Revolutions." Starting in France, European countries are swept up in revolution, none of which succeed, most of which end bloodily. The anti-slavery Free Soil Party divides the Democratic Party and slave-holding career soldier Zachary Taylor is elected president of the U.S..
1876: Western Union has a profound influence on the election of Rutherford Hayes as U.S. President, who lost the popular vote and won the electoral vote by 1, and not without controversy. His rival, Samuel Tilden, never conceded, and was called "President Tilden" by Democrats. (They called Hayes "Rutherfraud.")
1897: Wm. Randolph Hearst uses the New York Journal to change public opinion in favor of war with Spain, famously telling a photographer, "Your provide the photographs, I'll provide the war." The Spanish American War followed the next year.

and that will be a step forward.

The Medium of Intervention
So the task is to produce "dissensus," for transforming ourselves not into self-acclaimed walking corpses, but into sacrificial victims for a ritual devoted to the reestablishment of contradictory experiences, which is what culture should be about.

Which is what Francesco Bonami thinks culture should be about. I'm happy to join in if it looks like fun.

Equal Temperament Washes Clothes
Equal temperament reminds one of the truth; just intonation is the truth.
