I think I know something. I don't know what but the sound of the truth has a particular ring to it and I just heard it.
Next post: Insight to Inspiration
Un-Map Quest: Artist without a Clue:
Introspective experiments are inherently confounded. I never got anywhere doing things listening to the way things have been done. What am I looking for? Sheets the beat out of me. All I know is the sound of the truth when I hear it. When inspiration fails use logic.
Magritte Derby: Surrealistic Calculus
Ok, what is the most abstract process I can think of? Computing an integral calculus problem backwards in my head. The rectangular rule has been one of the intellectual touch stones of my thought process.
Thoughts are feelings and images which are approximated with language. They fit into a defined shape(geometry) that can clarify and expand or not.
By analogy in the rectangular rule the integral is the word and the rectangles are the feelings and images.
What would be the symbolic graphic equivalent on the same level of abstraction. TheLostJockey by Magritte. Symbolically riding across different fields looking for the right track of the integral or just the right word to express a thought.
Ok, I happened to find an enclosed mall that would work. I will focus my mind computing and then concentrating on that painting and see what I might find walking around.
Method Acting Art:
I had a passing thought that I might need to make people avoid me so I could maintain concentration by greasing my hair down with Dip a Dee Doo and soaking the front of my pants with water, but thought better of it.
At this point I had been starting to take an analytical approach to even my free time.
For example one of my favorite movies is The Great Escape.
In the first scene a prisoner gets out of a truck stretches the camera goes to the base of the fence pans to the top then over the top.
The camera goes to the prisoner who then slightly narrows their eyes as if looking out into the distance.
Natural movement combined with poetic effect. No dialog. A visual definition of escape using movement direction of gaze and facial expression.
I make a mental note for possible future use.
Ok, left and right brain is supposed to be a myth. I am right handed since studying architectural space. I am still right handed but I am more comfortable favoring my left side so much so that I can't create on my right side.
At Least Looking for a Needle in a Haystack You Know What You Are Looking For:
I got to radio shack and I lost concentration. After the 4th time I started asking myself what was I doing. I beat myself up for the better part of an hour. What am I looking for? Wait a minute, maybe there is something down at radio shack.
I went down there. Nothing. Ok, stimulus conditions. I have to walk all the way around so I can eliminate it. On the way back on the other side of radio shack I stopped and realized something was there I couldn't see.
I was looking around and then I saw it at the base of the wall. There was a double wall made of the same material. A security hallway.
I couldn't see it from the other side.
Epiphany. I felt it.
My autism makes me hypersensitive. Combining Malevich and Schlemmer proved interesting and different.
Geometric forms generated by natural movement. This was further refined by Personality Assessment Through Movement by Marion North.
In particular the idea of elements of a cube to describe movement which I adapted to the implied geometry of the space inside of different primary forms.
Art From Malevich & Rothko (primary volumes of varying densities).
Architecture From Schlemmer & Pollock (forms generated by natural movement).
Psychology From North (emotional and psychological implications of the inherent geometry of the spaces).
