Facets Analogy

Justin_Maller_Facets_graphic_pattern_03-700x700

What is a thing? A thing is the sum of all these facets:

  • Things have facets
  • These facets are “called” by other facets
  • We see some facets of things only
  • Therefore we only “see” parts of things
  • Things are all of these facets (then, now, to be)
  • These facets does not equal the thing, just how things see the thing
  • Facets constitute (are) relations
  • Relations are “make” network
  • Non-fiction (not documentary, that’s already too far involved in very specific matters of concern) is about ways ti address the world creatively to make knowledge claims about the world.
  • If things have facets then stories are one small set of possible facets (as is meaning).
  • How can we make certain non-fiction that addresses the world that is able to think with facets.

“What is a thing? A thing is a sum of facets.” – Adrian

  • Documentary are small facets.

Today in the studio I learnt that cataloging can be one of the techniques used when creating a list. I had assumed that but I wasn’t sure, I’m glad that Adrian cleared that up. Even a grocery list can be a form of cataloging. It’s so simple to to understand but I didn’t really know that before this class today.
