Shimmering lights
Glide through darkness
Acquainted with the night
The streets are dynamically alive as the city moves into its nocturnal phase. Each social system manifests a variety of concentration modes, some of them ascendant and some behind the scenes.
“Each perspective for any one qualitative abstraction such as a number, or a color, involves an infinitude of alternative potentialities.” – Alfred North Whitehead
Meaning-based connections
Graphic organization
Visual display
Imposing a perspective and awaiting further exploration, understanding is never a completed circumstance. In the moment, feeling engaged in the process of interpenetration enables aesthetic satisfaction.
“The variation point represented by an abstract feature can be fulfilled by one of potentially multiple ways.” – John Erik Wittern
Promised land
Morning happening
Already immersed in it
Establishing territory in a public space is fraught with anxiety. As part of the mix, territorial structures offered in the built environment affect spatially delimited control as a part of an ongoing sequence in daily life.
“We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” – T. S. Eliot
Unequal spaces
Superposed series
Intense succession
Spatial relations, being so fundamental to our experience of exteriority, tend to structure thoughts of things that exist without extensibility. Nevertheless, qualitative alterations in psychic states are not quantitative.
“The idea of the future, pregnant with an infinity of possibilities, is thus more fruitful than the future itself, and this is why we find more charm in hope than in possession, in dreams than in reality.” – Henry Bergson
Basic arrangement
Fragmentary form
Particular instances
Yielding to outside pressure, in a small corner of the city several lives play out on the stage presented. Here such entanglements receive the aesthetic attention they deserve.
“Being alone is and nothing is not.” – Parmenides
Certain divisions
Essential operation
Thought support
The windows in this relatively tall building have an iridescent quality, showing a luster resembling that of mother-of-pearl modulated when seen from different angles.
“If we choose meaning, the meaning survives only deprived of that part of non-meaning that is, strictly speaking, that which constitutes in the realization of the subject, the unconscious.” – Jacques Lacan
Different forms
Necessary pressure
Human geography
For Schelling, the reality and ultimacy of nature approached from an idealistic perspective builds upon a model of human freedom. This freedom invokes action as initiated by the subject, not deterministic but still in response to external contingencies. Part of the puzzle centers on the praxis of creative intuition as a function of action.
“There’s something about arriving in new cities, wandering empty streets with no destination.” – Charlotte Eriksson
Collaborative space
Competitive edge
Walking distance
On an evening walk around Alexandra, the light became magical as the local birds activate.
“Anything in existence, having somehow come about, is continually interpreted anew, requisitioned anew, transformed and redirected to a new purpose.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
Transmitted theory
Immediately eternal
Visible form
Contact with existence is oblique and vicarious. The reality of the particular never completely corresponds to the possibility inherent within its absolute existence. All objects are more than their mutual associations and exceed their appearances.
“The philosophy of art is a necessary goal of the philosopher, who in art views the inner essence of his own discipline as if in a magic and symbolic mirror.” – Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling
Concrete predication
Unity multiplicity
Hypostatization
A speculative system is a domain of organic reciprocity in which content and form, or subject matter and methodology, cannot be arbitrarily isolated, but rather meditate one another.
“Art ever and again continues to speak to us of what philosophy cannot depict in external form, namely the unconscious element in acting and producing, and its original identify with the conscious.” – Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling
