The Always Middle / EZE, 2024

Which end of the workflow is art?

Is it the beginning, the middle, and/or the end?

But art is generally thought of as the end of the workflow, i.e., the product.

Yet art is always about forming.

Hand by Doing / Doing by Hand

Forming is often giving a start and/or giving an end, but forming might just as well be the always middle.

How well are we able to formulate the always middle?

We usually formulate the middle as the end:

Being Formed / Informed Being


Another Take

When Not Finding Formulas or When the Default is Art: 

Asemic Writing versus the Motto of the OEIS: "If You Can't Solve It, Make Art".

Dialectic


A gap does not constitute a dialectic. 

A gap mostly foils dialectic, making a process partial, making the completion of a process non-immediate.

A gap often leads to misdirection and/or an unsatisfactory sense of connection.

Untime / EZE, 2024

Untime as Anti-Asemic






Untime as a Moment, and a Collection of Moments

There is a Moment in each Day that Satan cannot find
Nor can his Watch Fiends find it, but the Industrious find
This Moment & it multiply, & when it once is found
It Renovates every Moment of the Day if rightly placed

William Blake, Milton






There is a Grain of Sand in Lambeth that Satan cannot find
Nor can his Watch Fiends find it: tis translucent & has many Angles
But he who finds it will find Oothoons palace, for within
Opening into Beulah every angle is a lovely heaven

William Blake, Jerusalem


Kierkegaard
