My girlfriend was having a problem. She had to tell one of her best friends that she couldn’t fly to perth for her wedding in 3 weeks because she can’t afford the flight. fair enough, flights to Perth are gastronomically priced. I have been urging her to call that friend and tell her as soon as possible. she however, rightfully so, says, “it’s not that simple.” I respond, “it is call her, tell her, apologise, and tell her you’ll be able to visit her later in the year.” all true. My girlfriend then points out to me, “you’re right, you see everything so simply.” which got me thinking…
I see a lot of things in life as simple equations, do this + this = this reaction, like i guess a lot of us do. As Adrian would point out, that is very linear and he also may point out, rightly so, that that’s a reason for my stubbornness in this course. BUt in doing this and recognising the lines and edges i operate in i started to think….. (trying to not be so humancentric but unavoidably ended up there)
How could you have a circular, ‘edge-less’ interaction with someone? and how so without seeming pre planning conversations or ignoring that person? do we do that anyway once we a truly comfortable with a friend? and is that why we hang out with them specifically, to give our brains a break from linear thoughts and narratives?
How could you eat a meal ‘without edges’ and cook too? what would the food look like? taste like? feel like? would you use your instincts or that of something else to tell you when what is ready? could you do it purely based on audible responses by the food, letting it communicate to you in any ways it seems fit?
Is a derivé a form of edgeless art in the forms of literary tales and maps of 1920’s paris?
