A Short Introduction "If you don’t admire something, if you don’t love it, you have no reason to write a word about it". (Deleuze and Parnet, Dialogues, 144; in O'Sullivan, 5) Though it may not have been recognized as such at the time of its publication, today, The Logic of Sensation has come to be recognized as one of...

Painting, Its Ways and Faces "The adventure of painting is that it is the eye alone that can attend to material existence or material presence [...]" (39). Deleuze relates to two definitions of painting - one by line and color, which is visual, and the other by trait and color-patch, which is manual. He then proceeds to...

The Elements and Movements in Bacon's Paintings "There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportions" (Sir Francis Bacon) Deleuze distinguishes 3 pictorial elements in Bacon's paintings, which together constitute a highly precise system - the field that is the spatializing material structure, the...

Sensation and Forces "Not to reproduce what we can already see, but to make visible what we cannot" (Paul Klee) The task of art, in all its forms, is to capture forces. Deleuze and Guattari say that this, ultimately, is what makes art abstract - the "summoning" and making visible of otherwise imperceptible forces (Deleuze...

So people learned from the angels of God how to build bridges, and therefore, after fountains, the greatest blessing is to build a bridge and the greatest sin to interfere with one. - Ivo Andric Our first two topics in this 12 part series were Pattern Recognition and Environmental Scanning, both practices for enhancing the opportunity to create...

Eyeclipse: Open your eyes Most people, including ourselves, live in a world of relative ignorance. We are even comfortable with that ignorance, because it is all we know.

Via tackling the fallacy of objectivity I am raising important points about rationality, reality, and subjectivity. Objectivity is a fallacy because if a human removes himself or herself from his or her emotions and perceptions the human then ceases to be human. It is simply not possible to be objective. Emotions are essential for higher brain...

People are communicating in the long tail. The long tail is basically the the niche market leveraged by digital technology.

In the...

Often we manipulate objects mentally before applying the physical actions thus different approaches to thinking through a problem herald varying physical actions. Moreover when we fail to provide a solution, rethinking our plan is often the remedy. This...
