found poem created wilst listening to presentations at NanoDTC last week

A found text that wasn't lost just misscomicated. 

 

Are you solving?

or

Are you created methods for understanding? 

 

Are you making supercells relaxed?

Is your learning building on foundations?

 

Are you looking? 

Have you built a map of complexity?

 

We are exploring the energy landscape

Driving electrostatically towards unstable polarons in oxygen - (creating bling worms)

 

We are vacancy

Beyond the crystal field 

Searching for defected structures 

and

the impact of electron holes 

 

Are you relaxed?

Is your feedback relevant?

Is your behaviour chaotic?

Are you delayed by time?

 

We are woven together - drowning in bulk looking for defects.

Defects make or break functionality.

We are chaotic

We are emerging 

We are active and disordered

 

Where is the beginning?

When does one thing become another

Where is the edge?

 

This is important.

 

we are delayed by time, but

defined by laws.

 

I am told that life, the idea of, is a sliding scale but dependent strongly on initial conditions. 

 

Boundaries define us

But are 

Topographically unstable

 

Are you self-similar?

Have you discovered your individual uniqueness?

Are you taking notes?

Are you hear?

after a week attending the NanoDTC Autumn school I'm back  - for more information on this follow https://unfoldingthinking.blogspot.co.uk/ which is the blog that will document the project with NanoDTC at the Maxwell Centre. meanwhile Its been a busy week of opportunities - The Crafts Council have invited me to present my work in Manchester as part of Crafts Council's Make:Shift conference - already looking forward to it as it's an opportunity to share the advances my practice has had as a result of working within a science context. Nicola Naismith has contacted me to be part of her interesting project Postures of Making - exploring what happens beneath the surface of the skin when engaged in art practice and how we work with the idea of repetitive acts. I have several art related body malfunctions!!! as a result of creative making over the years and have been interested in the ergonomics of art practice for some time, especially when considering the of concept of the space of reading and idea of page turning as a performance. Confirmation of the upcoming work for Open College of the Arts has come through - I'm running an interesting project which focuses on creating an online exhibition. meanwhile managed to read  I love Dick by Chis Kraus it's a wonderfully incisive book. I loved the descriptions and general critique of a number of art pieces, films and artists I am familiar with - it really is very funning, I now want to go back and check out the work I was unfamiliar with - this book should be read by all artists. I've been invited to Unfold a show at The Roundhouse on October 8. The Catalogue for ALL is out and the work looks good - can't wait to see a physical copy in my hands - the events on the 13th October if you are in Cambridge https://artlanguagelocation.org/ Dan Tsu of Lyrix Organix very kindly mentioned that this is the project I inspired them to develop last year! but I think that is really down to all the hard work they do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SQ_K_WQl0A
