Yes we know writing is pedagogic...
I didn't want to reason today. I wanted the sound to penetrate my skin like the love of your eyes.
Funny you write about feeling. How can you conceptualize a feeling. Or appropriate touch?
I know, this is deemed to fail.
Maybe you post some mechanically recorded performance to evoke a feeling? maybe it was well captured? Maybe that would do?
I have been waiting to experience this for a long time. Instead I am writing about this.
Its easy to write in my innocuous blog about it. Its sealed and contains no contingency. Maybe they switch off the serves to prevent me from propagating my radical thoughts/imagery?
Yes, you are trying to experience the immeasurable by measuring it, with words. You are ready to fail.
Are you scared to feel? or to fail? or both?
.
I am scared of rejection. I am scared of what other people might think. I know life goes fast. I can't wait until is late. I want to experience all that I lost in infancy trough isolation.
So now is infancy who is guilty of your reality? Again this is getting too conceptual. Can you keep it simple? Can you go out the window; feel the air?

I feel that the relationship we have with nature needs to be reconsidered.
Im aware that by saying this, I draw a line between nature and us, which is probably not a real distance. But I do feel that the idea of nature cannot be this grand thing we contemplate and adorn with.
We need to start understanding nature and use it for our survival. Physical materials, perhaps, will always exist, which means we are not so much worried about certain resources like petrol, or trees specifically, and we therefore acknowledge in terror that their depletion is close, and therefore we freeze and we stop consuming... Contrary to this, consumption needs to be reasonable, wether we have plenty or not of resources.
Things always transform, and perhaps, like energy, it never gets lost. So the question here might be: how do we transform our environment for our survival?
Nature needs to serve our purpose and therefore, we need to understand how we relate to it, how we are part of a cycle that might constitute survival, and in the process of new modifications how they modify existing processes and their position within existing macrostructures, which might result in a problem with the macro; the micro-problems are embedded in a larger scale process of microprocesses; this large scale of processes constitutes a new level of microprocesses which forms a larger process...so on and so forth.
Questions before entering this enterprise might be related to
(1)- do we conceive the world as an ineligible (non)substance?
(2)- if so, how far can knowledge go?
(3)- can life as we know it be sustained; i.e. become sustainable as a species?

Amilia asked me yesterday: who is your building for? who is going to occupy it? what is their life like?
And I felt completely shocked by this question. I felt I didn't know my user properly, and that I was making too many assumptions.
How do I get to know my users?
How do I process this information?
Which are the strategies for their inclusion?

Intuitive judgments of preservation projects; not super proud but good to trigger conversation...
-Preservation;
to me differs from conservation:
preservation deals with the creation of the historic object and its maintenance.
Preservation deals with the object in two ways:
preservation deals with the creation of the historic object and its maintenance.
Preservation deals with the object in two ways:
(a) it casts the found object as found (dignification)
(b) it interprets history and reenacts its "original" condition
-Conservation;
to me, conservation has economic connotations, as TheFreeDictionary defines; 1.b.To use carefully or sparingly, avoiding waste or 3.To economize. Conservation deals with something that has to be kept because we might run out of it soon or because it happens to be useful not necessarily now, but in the future:
-shall I throw the cardborad boxes?
-Keep them in case we move out soon...
Here the object is kept but by no means dignified. It is left as found.

...The remission of desire, in the form of memories, it appears to us as something romanticised..a moment of intense empathy and "naturality"...what we long for appears to us as an artificial construct of something ungraspable...desire morphs into images and feelings that don't necessarily match what we need or look for?
