Courtesy of Hollis Taggart Galleries, New York, and the Estate of Quita Brodhead I'd like to offer something from the realm of projective geometry, with respect to infinity, that is (believe it or not) very practical.  I have found that projective geometry...

Spring, by Liam Brazier I realize I have been long absent from new postings here. Suffice it to say: life, kids, job, etc. etc. have intervened. Nevertheless, I thought I should at least post a link to my actual completed dissertation, available for free (they make us writers pay so you don't have to!), at: https://www.proquest.com/docview/1540842461/8E1516075F984B5EPQ/1 Good...

In February 2014 I successfully defended my PhD dissertation, titled "Toward an Aesthetic Epistemology: Transforming Thinking through Cybernetic Epistemology and Anthroposophy." The following is the abstract and a slideshow presentation that pulls out the crux of my arguments. Abstract The complexity, subtlety, interlinking, and scale of many problems faced individually and collectively in today’s rapidly changing world...

Let’s get right to it, shall we? With respect to ontology, let us say that there is no “it,” no independent reality that is exclusive of the observer.  This is a basic insight from second-order cybernetics: the observer must always be included in the observed.  Despite this, of course, we do have much talk and...

This article was recently written for the Science to Sage International eMagazine. It introduces the work of Frank Chester, artist, sculptor, and geometrician, and explores how the special seven-sided volume with faces of equal area -- the Chestahedron -- relates to the traditional Platonic Solids.

Okay, I had to post this, as I found it to be ... weirdly fascinating. Google has a tool that allows you to search for terms and see how they have trended over time based on global search volume.  The service is called Google Trends, check it out. Here is the result for the term...

Gregory Bateson (1991) famously said that we “cannot claim to have no epistemology. Those who so claim have nothing but a bad epistemology” (p. 178).  Bateson is calling for self-reflection in our epistemology.  He wants it to be recursive, so that in our production of knowledge we do not delude ourselves into thinking that...

Introduction Video games are a huge global phenomenon, driving well over $70 billion dollars in sales in 2011—a number that is only rising year by year.  For comparison, global music sales in 2011 was about $16 billion, while global theater tickets was about $33 billion.  This has consequences—largely unexplored—for people that are interested in spiritual...

If you don't know about the discovery of the Chestahedron, a volume with seven faces of equal area, you should check it out at New Forms Technology (shameless plug: I'm the webmaster). I have been experimenting with the form in its sculptural capacity, and have come up with some interesting designs that are featured on...

Do not think about this on Prezi do not think about this it is not here for your pleasure not waiting self-less for some deathly embrace as if it were not already perfect and rising starkly, gently behind you perusing the pages of your eyes passing no judgment straighten your back and fly into the sunset as you were meant to – objectless, void, unsundered by the...
