Why can't a space offer both a "readable and visible world"(OT)from
"space of words in their interior movement,"(CD)thus triggering a visual
language reflecting the phenomena of mind,body,language interaction??
This would definitely allow a visual ethics to go beyond any intolerance
because proper;a visual language that would become second nature to our
habitable spaces but would provide a greater transparency on human
nature and its language.
As Keller Ann Easterling wrote,architecture does not have to be
physical.Because its current manifestation is purely physical,we miss
to provide the "virtual" world of the human senses an adequate(and
deserved)manifestation,I am talking about the unseen,invisible,virtual
that everybody in one way or other include in their pourparler in this
forum.
There is,no doubt about it,a cyber-aesthetic to develop based on
communicated consciousness.
As Celia Larner wrote in an article:
"Initially,it(aesthetic)will not be the product of fixed principles,
but will continue to mutate as circumstances require as a migratory
aesthetic.The aesthetic is unlikely to emerge from the art world,or the
insight of individual genius:its adoption will rest on consesus rather
than the autonomy of any one element.
By the same token this aesthetic will probably not reflect the values of
any particular cultural group or political ideology,but should
allow for an equality of input by those that are disenfranchised.It is
probable that this aesthetic will increasingly demand its own language
,and this will probably be an evolving fusion of image and text.
Finnaly,perhaps more controversially,the new hyper-aesthetic may include
an ethical dimension,based on what one might term the collective
experience of immanence."
