Two organizations in Portland that I love! WOah, and I’m in the video. one thing- it says my balloons are in the gulf taking pictures. My balloons aren’t in the gulf, just my folding guides and plastics research. The balloons are collaborative. Most of the gulf folks are using Southern Balloon Works balloons, but we have good diy kits too.
I feel this way a lot
“When sophistication loses content then the only way of keeping in touch with reality is to be crude and superficial. This is what I intend to be.”
Paul Feyerabend
page 158 “How to Defend Society Against Science”, Scientific Revolutions, Oxford Readings in Philosophy
Feyerabend’s critiques the application of scientific theory to social prescriptions. But this quotation struck me because it could be re-applied to the contemporary art world so easily. Sophistication without content. It is, however, fascinating how crude and superficial attacks on content-less sophistication have been subsumed into a sophisticated discourse.
oh man, venomous attacks against a vague subject like the “art world.” I must be tired. oh well, POST!
