Temporary Truths – Ein Manifest Vorübergehender Überzeugungen, Raffael Kormann

EIN MANIFEST VORUBERGEHENDER UBERZEUGUNGEN

Te m p o ra r y Tr ut hs EIN MANIFEST VORUBERGEHENDER UBERZEUGUNGEN HIER UND JETZT HABEN WIR ES MIT EINEM HYPEROBJEKT ZU TUN, DAS SICH SELBST DURCHLEUCHTET UND DURCHDRINGT. DIE RELIKTE DES GEDACHTEN ZEIGEN UMWANDLUNGSVERSUCHE EINES AGGREGATZUSTANDES IN EINEN ANDEREN. DIE UMWANDLUNG VON GEDANKE IN FORM. VON KONTEXT ZU KONTEXT. VON PROZESS IN ZUSTAND. DER EINGEBRANNTE ANSPRUCH AN DIESES KAKOPHONIE-KONVOLUT IST DER DER KOMPROMISSLOSEN UNVOLLSTANDIGKEIT. WENN DER NULLPUNKT DIE ENTSTEHUNG DES ERSTEN DREISEKUNDIGEN ZWISCHENRAUMS NAMENS GEGENWART MARKIERT, DANN KANN DANK DIESEM ALLES DARAUFFOLGENDE GUTEN GEWISSENS IN EIN DAVOR, EIN DANACH UND EIN DAZWISCHEN EINGETEILT WERDEN (WOBEI MANCHES IM DAVOR ERWARTET, EINIGES IM DANACH VERWORFEN UND ABSOLUT ALLES IM DAZWISCHEN GESCHEHEN WIRD).

DA DAS WAHRE IMMER IM DAZWISCHEN LIEGT, IST ABSOLUT NICHTS DIE MOGLICHKEIT EINER TEMPORAREN WAHRHEIT ABZUSPRECHEN.

RULE ONE: Find a place you trust, and then try trusting it for a while.

RULE TWO: General duties of a student: Pull everything out of your teacher; pull everything out of your fellow students.

RULE THREE: General duties of a teacher: Pull everything out of your students.

RULE FOUR: Consider everything an experiment.

RULE FIVE: Be self-disciplined: this means finding someone wise or smart and choosing to follow them. To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self-disciplined is to follow in a better way.

RULE SIX: Nothing is a mistake. There‘s no win and no fail, there‘s only make.

RULE SEVEN: The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It‘s the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things.

RULE EIGHT: Don’t try to create and analyze at the same time.

They‘re different processes.

RULE NINE: Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It‘s lighter than you think.

RULE TEN: We‘re breaking all the rules. Even our own rules.

And how do we do that? By leaving plenty of room for X quantities.

HINTS: Always be around. Come or go to everything. Always go to classes. Read anything you can get your hands on. Look at movies carefully, often. Save everything. It might come in handy later.

Reality = to feel

Statt die Wirklichkeit objektiv wahrzunehmen, sind wir ständig dabei, sie zu interpretieren.

Was wir naiverweise für real halten, hängt deshalb stark von unserer persönlichen Deutung ab.

infinite loop of information

Many scholars try to predict

how the world will look

in the year 2100 or 2200.

This is a waste of time.

Any worthwhile prediction

must take into account the ability

to re-engineer human minds,

and this is impossible.

The rise of global information networks has not only changed the way we consume images, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transformed the way we experience reality.

Since drawing can mediate between

perception

and

reflection

it plays a constitutive role in the

production and communication of knowledge.

Te m p o ra r y Tr ut hs A MANIFEST OF EPHEMERAL BELIEFS HERE AND NOW WE ARE DEALING WITH A HYPER-OBJECT THAT IS EXAMINING AND PERVADING ITSELF. THE RELICTS OF THOUGHT SHOW ATTEMPTS OF TRANSFORMING ONE STATE OF AGGREGATION INTO ANOTHER. THE TRANSFORMATION OF THOUGHT INTO FORM. FROM CONTEXT TO CONTEXT. FROM PROCESS TO STATUS. THE BURNT IN ASPIRATION OF THIS CONVOLUTED CACOPHONY IS THAT OF UNCOMPROMISING INCOMPLETENESS. WHEN THE POINT OF ORIGIN MARKS THE EMERGENCE OF THE FIRST THREE-SECOND INTERSPACE CALLED THE PRESENT, THEN THANKS TO THIS, ALL THE FOLLOWING CAN IN GOOD CONSCIENCE BE DIVIDED INTO A BEFORE, AN AFTER AND AN IN-BETWEEN (WHEREBY SOME THINGS ARE EXPECTED IN THE BEFORE, SOME ARE DISCARDED IN THE AFTER AND ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING WILL HAPPEN IN THE BETWEEN).

SINCE THE TRUTH ALWAYS LIES IN-BETWEEN, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DENY THE POSSIBILITY OF A TEMPORARY TRUTH.
