breathing can have a space of itself there is this sort of discrepancy of what is plausible and what it possible gliding though a city not body motion so you can go through walls motion sickness 4/10 The architecture of cyberspace offers the opportunity to mend the rupture between how we know the world and how we conceive and execute architecture. It allows a far greater latitude of experimentation than any previous architectonic opportunity. It is once again possible to seek to know what is known and to conceive a corresponding architecture, without always falling back upon the sacred geometries of ages past. This engagement only makes architecture more relevant to the world, more in keeping with what is sensed as a new condition. In fact, architecture's role in articulating spatially the outlook of an age is strongly reasserted.

Critical of Balla's literal depiction of forms in motion, Boccioni sought to capture a sense of time that was implicit in being. Like Bergson's notion of "duration" as the principle animating the passage through time rather than the particular form at a given instant, Boccioni's work observed the lifelessness of a form arrested from motion in a single instant, and created forms that were condensed records of their own becoming, past and future both being contained in the vector of the present. It is perhaps not too surprising that Boccioni's sense of and Deleuze's time-image would both draw upon, and thus be connected by, Bergson. What is surprising is that Deleuze and Boccioni, especially the latter's Unique Form of Continuity in Space of 1913 and related works both anticipate and can be expressed by the tools and concepts of scientific visualization, especially isosurfaces.[2] fractal infinite regression something else happens a fiction that goes beyond euclidean we still think the sun rises and sets workable models to understand phenomenon more plausible explanation modernism was a dead end minimisation to the etherealisation incestuous debate technology energisers modernism thinking about through the material one single subjectivity claiming high ground the work station is common to various disciplines aesthetic and art are separate things why shouldn't an artist have a special ground you have to have intent boundaries are becoming blurred context and intent so much for cyberspace internet advertising richest space on earth Our surprise is only the result of our forgetting; in his 1913 Manifesto, Marinetti is explicit: "...we should express the infinite smallness that surrounds us, the imperceptible, the invisible, the agitation of atoms, the Brownian movements, all the exciting hypotheses and all the domains explored by the high-powered microscope. To explain: I want to introduce the infinite molecular life into poetry not as a scientific document but as an intuitive element. It should mix, in the work of art, with the infinitely great spectacles and dramas, because this fusion constitutes the integral synthesis of life".[3] wild fluctuations filters Marcos Novak transmitting Architecture: The Transphysical City
