"a rose by any other name is just as sweet" (who said that again?)
they say ikons are not modelled the same as the simultaneous
development of the 3 dimensional & alchemical grids of the RENAISSANCE
in Europe intentionally, to portray the "otherworldly" dimensionals
within the inability to make sense or conform to the perceived realities
seeking "realism" in expression (photo-realism). Nowadays we can just
generate "realism" with the click of a mouse & a flick of the wrist. how
is that different with word crafting?
inasmuch as the development of the alphabets & the multitudinous
combinations inherent within each culture to lay down the scenario using
different combinations of squiggily lines to form expression, can we not
observe that such expansive linear concepts & the processes needed to
interpret them relativistically & subjectively conforms to promote a
"...cannot see the forest for the trees" effect?
what you do with words, I could just throw paint selectively upon a
canvas & go back & adjust to say either NOTHING in particular, or to
express the most complicated & deep heartfelt *truth* I am capable of.
But it would still
depend upon the interpretation of the recipient (speaking of HTML &
java), to resonate with the expression as intended.
But - the *truth* within expression is the process by which one
expresses; the journey itself & not the destination. What is happening
inside the artist is the price exacted of each person of clear artistic
vision, & often feels like chaos in these so-called societies.
cyberspace is no different.
Like, when goes to a mall or big department store for one clear item,
& ends up utterly overwhelmed by the choices available to them,
resulting in total indecision & a desire to run screaming from the
store, the available mediums of expression can blind us to the tools
most neccesary for immediate communication & feedback, if required.
Decide something!
