All is mind

'The primary function of the paranoiac-critical method is to produce images of a startling and authentically unknown nature. The paranoiac mind perceives alternate meanings of individual signs, and interpretations displace one another almost instantaneously. Whether these new relationships are created or merely noticed by the paranoiac is irrelevant. As Dali explained, "It is enough that the delirium of interpretation should have linked together the implications of the images of the different pictures covering a wall for the real existence of this link to be no longer deniable."

All is mind, method and form...


1.1. Is the internet an exercise in advance for ‘total’ communication.? Or is it just an allegory of a primitive state of a constant and natural state of globalization? Do allegories still exist? The representation of the mechanical process was a constant evident phenomena in the advent of the modern era. Abstract machines were not comprehended in the beginning, except for philosophy, psychology and arts. A machine was the very representation of the new understanding of progress. Velocity and mobility on a massive scale. a linear process from A to B to C, etc. and where concept and the actual machine are synchronized.


1.2.it's 2008, and the coordination of mind into software and materiality as a final product- for example a new building, or a car-, appear in a continuous process of materialization and performance in real space. A flux of information that carries history, knowledge, intelligence and speed, a dna of specific properties and ways of performing. Information acquired by statistics, diagrams, data performed in several programs that function as simulators of future phenomenons. A building becomes a condensation of this flux within a time/space coordinates.information into mater. matter into information? A multiplicity of conceptual machines, appears in the shape of 'architecture' and space. Tokyo city; An industrial plant abandoned and polluting the environment, the carcass of an abandoned hotel. 


1.3. Time. Then, Could the aging of a building become an inverted process of releasing accumulated information from matter? to say, Does the theory work inside these processes? Probably not. Probably it never does. Or, does theory just belong to another époque of ideological architecture? ideology of machines, ideology of function, ideology of comfort, of the superfluous and the banal. Probably the theory was never meant to operate. It will only operate for the sake of reaffirming an ideology, something convenient but not honest. What kind of working methods are implied on this? Multiple systems broke the limit of their appearances occulted by a rigid and linear mind.


What events happened that changed our minds, and we didn’t even see it coming?
