starwalkerThu, Nov 19, 2009 The verb ‘individual’, as you use it, ignites in my mind the question emerging a lot lately, that is which is the kind of language that can allow us to describe the on going times and transitions in a way that simultaneously keeps it intimate (as opposite to alien) and wide (as opposite to specific).
Intimate so that events are close enough to ignite our intent/drive, and thus our ability to sustain a course, and allow us to reflect this course in 'correlation'. Wide enough to earn the capacity to accommodate, communicate and consider the complexity of a wildly big/diverse picture (maybe more accurate to say pictures) which till now was kind of not-visible, and that considerably influence scales of time and priorities.
I find echoes of such language in the multiple relations between ‘individuals’ in this post. The layer of ‘you and me’ thrown upon the vastness of ‘the future of man’. The line walked between the intimate and the ‘many intimate’ as it recurs in the lines of Montevideo.
A perspective that though unfamiliar in its ambiguity, ironically enough allows for an increase in sense in my mind. Almost a matter of life and death while immersed in the multiple ongoing polylogue that our networked lives are becoming. Love the endeavor of articulation..
