DAY 8: Devant (the lenticular-like optical illusion pictures): What were the differences between what your camera captured and what you saw with your eyes looking at the work? Were there differences in what you saw as you moved your body around in relation to the work? What is a scientific apparatus? What actually happens when a human "sees" something? Are humans apparatuses? Are we computers? What is the difference between an object {space} and an event {time}? {Alfred North Whitehead says an "actual entity" and an "actual occasion" are the same thing.} Why do you think the artist chose this particular subject matter, as opposed to something like internet selfies? What is the effect of having chose this subject matter (architecture, Greek(-looking) classical sculpture)? ============================ The space way outside of the city where the wedding music was happening when we walked up: What do you think the odds were of us walking up exactly as that wedding music was playing? What do you make of such coincidences (if anything)? Did you like any of the work, or have any questions about it? ============================ PSYCHOGEOGRAPHY DERIVE (drift): Any novel drift techniques or algorithms that you developed and would like to share? Describe your psychogeographic Derive (drift) experiences. They need not be "spectacular." ========================== FLANEUR DERIVE (drift) preparation: Baudelaire and Benjamin background. Arcades background (Cf: google map link to arcades location, most are in the 9th). Window-shopping is allowed/encouraged! Bringing the city into your living room. Interpersonal (less about streets and more about crowds). Akin to cruising. Brief eye contact, then separate (but only if you feel comfortable). Can also happen while riding the bus (but not the underground metro; it must be above ground).
