a line of history, a history of lines

Stones with lines.
They come from a piece of Earth’s surface, maybe a mountain.

The stone fell, it rolled.
The river shaped it, round it.

Tim Ingold wrote that "any history of the lines has to start with the relations between lines and surfaces".

A point can never be a line, a line can never be a surface, a surface can never be massive.

Mass becomes surface, made of lines, discrete.

Between my perception and my understanding, the timelines of my thinking appear to be fragmented.

When everything is divided into pieces, where does transition happen?

Time is flowing, mostly in some direction that we call past present future.

But take the space to pieces, and in the quantum world time can go backward, from the future to the present to the past.

Actually at this point in time we don't need time to describe a world of colliding particles, just relations.

In this term, inner-face, interface and outer-face are the same.

Or maybe not: because some particles don't take space, there are no faces. Just a plurality.

Organised, yes. Connected by forces pulling things together and apart.

And here we are.

In the hyperspace.

In the hypotime.

My idea meets your idea, what comes out of it, is our idea.

It's not mine, it's not yours, it is something in between.

This between is a gate to the other, the only possibility to discover new worlds.

Our idea meet their idea, what comes out of it, is everyone’s idea.

everyone’s idea helps our ideas.

Knowledge belongs to the world.

Sometimes ideas are not great. Today I read about the many wrong ideas Einstein had. But what is wrong and what is right? And even though some of Einstein’s ideas were wrong, they helped others ideas to be defined.

I like William Kentrige Idea to emphasise the less good ideas. https://www.designindaba.com/articles/creative-work/centre-less-good-idea

Stell Dir vor

Elisa, this is a special direct message <3

Robert Rehfeldt sagte er wirft seine Post in die Kunstgeschichte.
Ich schalte pixels auf deinem Display um.
Ich tippe ephemäre Gedanken in eine Kunstgeschichte die nicht mehr existiert: vielfaltig die Historie,
made of lines
made of dots

.. und ich grüße dich zurück.
