It is the human
the touch the feel the holding The object is transitory the experience of the thing is the thing itself Distraction is the build up of material flow through of intention is the happening Wonderful clothing is of little import when there is nowhere to go A thing is for something this something can be obscure so then the thing travels through imagination’s garden Admiration and wonder If to give importance these things are titled as being weapons The seriousness of them Or shall they be toys The frivolity Both sides the same The object is not the thing the thing is the grasping the imagining A relationship then demonstrating the thing

The yo yo is thrown away
this action of throwing through the physical nature of the yo yo causes also the return of the yo yo Why does this feel good? To physically throw a solid thing away and then for this thing to return perhaps it confirms what we feel deep down Life can be simple and mysterious at exactly the same moment coupling
an essential mechanical property of joining (biologically) perfected through sexual union joined to move to share solid liquid between all this is what is between this is the joining of the absolute completely separate absolutely in union so the same for this time machine is but one part mechanical physical there is a part not this but apart of this what is this? Why do I make Art
I make art to share ideas and thoughts with other people I make art to discover other ways of connecting the stuff of the world surrounding me I make art to feel and experience thought processes I make art to enjoy the way I feel even after I have felt I make art to experience my own impression of the world around me I make art to mark stages in my journey I make art as a poetic body of knowledge that doesn't have to be clear, defined, literal I make art as I instinctively and naturally make art I make art as my life reflection and gift to myself I make art to investigate and research ways of thinking ways of being I make art to suggest and express an essence of things I make art out of a simple joy of the materials colours feelings of the things which I use to make art I make art to manifest an opportunity for community to form around creative working I make art because it feels to be a significant necessary important imperative activity I make art to investigate first hand the making of something I make art to bring another thing into the world I make art as the way a work of art becomes is such a mysterious process I make art to experience how the wholeness became manifest I make art as it is freedom I make art because art is functional in ways which are challenging to define I make art because I can I make art as it holds my interest and wonder and fascination I make art as it is the closest activity to the true nature of all things I make art as it can not be solved or known or completed I make art for the enjoyment of others I make art because I want to make art I make art to be different shapes and sizes I make art to transport myself into another material I make art to be intimately within the fabric of the world I make art as I love strategising a system I make art to freely experience methodology risk process I make art to experiment I make art so as to innovate I make art to find new ways I make art to discover further where I am and who I am through things outside of me I make art to project myself externally so that I can view see myself as another Finding energy this energy to drive movement this movement has no utilitarian purpose but to be moving a part of the dance of life finding a commonality with the swaying of a branch in the breeze. With the ability to create accurate and precise mechanism then instead letting these machines be something other than precise or to also have a poetic quality other than efficiency and precision. Expressing a movement by means of the energy already available. Everything a person passes is affected by that passing. The world is all sensors and response. That is the physical system which we are part of. the idea sits in a place thought lets go to find
skirting around any specific detail until the moment screams NOW then commit but only so much as necessary no more process to a thing which alludes me so around I go (current thoughts on a reductionist rational approach to utility) what is my use? can this be defined? if so is this exclusive? if this definition of a person or a thing’s use is not comprehensive then how is this definition useful? any statement of the usefulness of a person or a thing is a selective paraphrasing of an epic written since the very beginning definitions and importance given to the usefulness of a person or a thing illuminate the agenda of the source a tree cleans the air provides shade on a sunny day and shelter from the rain a tree can have a swing attached to a branch for children to play is that all? the uses are endless and listing them meaningless unless useful to categorise reduce define systematise a plumber is useful if the toilet is blocked a person is a plumber this person is never only a plumber plumber is not a definition of a person but merely a minute fragment of the contribution of a person we are not what we do we are not what we contribute we are not how others define us neither is a tree neither is a bee neither is a cat and the list of exceptions is as infinite as the nature of those on the list lots of useful stuff
This is where the joy lives this uselessness is what I am intrinsically All of it is ridiculous nonsensical I am foolish to imprint meaning essentiality is impossible even if I can perceive all of the infinite dimensions which I am part of I still will be a piece of this all a wondrous junkyard of meaningless potentiality others I respect in this parade somehow my uselessness in no way cancels out this respect nor does it offer a malignant licence to destroy others A useless machine by Jean Tinguely
a mechanism of balance has a physical attribute akin to kindness
the point of equilibrium is shared the heavy makes space for the light the interaction of one material to another can seem unkind is a sustainable system kind? soft and hard become one through their meeting if steel did without brass it would move less smoothly gears mesh kindly gifting movement to each other if gears do not mesh then is this less kind? is kindness able to be a mechanical principle? kindness is a deep acknowledgement through actions of the position and presence of others without self awareness can kindness be? kindness is how this human can engage with and understand the world observed is kindness the action of respect? kindness is a working methodology kindness is an efficiency kindness is an acknowledgement rather than the denial of the perceived actual of a kind sharing my kind the other is as I am of the same kind Imagine
a mechanism held together of its own resting in equilibrium moving with dynamic shifting balance each piece an individual all parts inseparable indistinguishable from the whole here |
