I think there are are what might be termed “theories of abstract” that are dualistic to a certain extent. Philosophically they seem Platonic in the way they divide between abstract and concrete.

connect with art theory despite a “theoretical art” heading?
In my simple and/or simplistic mind, the sign of infinity denotes “that which we can not count”. In the infinitite set of odd numbers 1,3,5,7,9,11,13 etc – we can always add another number. Hence can not count all the numbers. The set might have the same number of elements as the even correspondant, however both […]
Just noticed there is a gallery of visual stuff in london, called Itchy gallery. Might be cool to visit and make notes there and there? Perhaps sound recordings?
Suppose this here is not number 1, and this number – 3 – isn’t really the number three. Lets suppose the world we lived in said that in order for us to be able and count “1”, we needed to go to a particular place and look at a specific rock in the shape of […]
These links are yet to be digested. Just initial grub from a few looks to do with possible development of notes about crisis, art, and crisis of – perhaps in – art linked practices?
Its curious that when writing about some visual objects in this blog, morethanjustwine talks of “effects” of infinity. In other words, perhaps only my own whims, effects are manifestations – in these cases about ideas of infinities rather than Being artistic – or possible artistic – infinities. Such manifestations are bound by specific objects, eg […]
other infinities? I placed a question in stack-overflow re maths and infinities. They put the question on hold. So copied bellow the question and initial replies. In case they delete the content..
In a tv show/spectacle called “homeland”(??), some people were asked to do stuff that Looks like graffiti, so that scenes will look “authentic”. One, or a few, of these people being asked to add the authentic feel, decided to tell a bit of a possible truth about the show, marking it as a racist spectacle. […]
This rapper dude got shot(ish) in the head. Next thing, he goes selfie and deliriously telling his phone that he’s a real rapper now… I think its interesting that despite the blood, some obvious shok and perhaps some pain as well, its not the music that makes him – in his view – a real […]
it seems in arabic we get the possibly correct term for art in english? the arabic term for art is Fun!
It seems that perhaps there are Finiteness – a sense of having some sort of an end? Infiniteness – a sense of No end in sight – or indeed – no actual end? Dysfiniteness – a sense of finiteness failing to Be unless it fails being an attempt to be an element in a continuum? […]
Just a passing thought that itches: If life has a value, an element that escapes numericalisation, can not be expressed in numbers unless it is a snapshot of that continuum, of that infinity? If that continuum, that infinity is as such precisely as the value of one’s life continues pre-birth, during the after birth, and […]
The uniformity makes me think that this: https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/2731b7cfa27a8e6afb17fd02f63360b11b479749/0_0_7360_4912/master/7360.jpg?w=1920&q=85&auto=format&sharp=10&s=abfa7e036287eeda463cdbe72e2e9298 is a show that attempts to perform a non show while being a performance that is not attempting to be performative but have to? Everybody ecstatic? Everybody holds same kind of flowers in both hands? Everybody suppose to feel the same? Everybody are not designated performers but […]
art? if biennials were organic, would they smell like basil art? or rather lets make the question more interesting (?) if biennials and organicness came to do art together? if art left biennials to perennial for being organic beings? if art became an organic triennial?
