Quotes

"Dialogue is mutual search for a new reality, not debate to win with stronger arguments. In a dialogue propositions are pointers toward a common new reality; not against each other to win a verbal battle, but complementing each other in an effort to accommodate legitimate goals of all parties, inspired by theories and values, and constructive-creative-concrete enough to become a causa finalis". Galtuung


"I use the concept of affect as away of talking about a margin of manouverability, the 'where we might be able to go' and 'what we might be able to do' in every present situation. I guess 'affect' is a word I use for 'hope': Massumi


"A discourse is a system of words, actions, rules, beliefs, and institutions that share common values. Particular discourses sustain particular worldviews. We might even think of a discourse as a worldview in action. Discourses tend to be invisible--taken for granted as part of the fabric of reality."Fairclough


Emergence is “the principle that entities exhibit properties which are meaningful only when attributed to the whole, not to its parts.” Checkland


"What the designer cares about is whether the user perceives that some action is possible (or in the case of perceived non-affordances, not possible)." Norman

The Bridge

The Bridge

The Bridge is a concept for a social network / open access space in which people can

Explore Express Discuss "Inherent Creative Potential"

The point of The Bridge to enable :

A Positive Mutual/Reciprocal relationship between those  who prioritise  knowledge and critique and those who
 prioritise chance and flow.
Thereby encouraging/enabling  the visitor to be on friendly terms with both.... and benefit from this relationship...

The tools/exercises take the visitor on a journey from simple word exercises to more whole body performance...
The Bridge needs to have a number of Faces : to reach the different target groups
these include:
An Intellectual Face: to connect this to/ place it within the various academic theories and philosophies, to legitimise it rationally... I am currently struggling with this one here
A  Social Face : to empower those  without  the  economic skills to package and promote their natural creativity : the Bridge link  offers a basic social network outline along and Flowspace a community site outline=

An Executive Face:  I visualise  a polished pay to access High Quality Portal/corporate sector to reconnect the economically successful with their roots via the simplicity of flow   some investment/income : I have a long way to go with this...
My long term intention is to provide a publicly accessible opensource package so any community can set up a similar project ... 




There are issue between the value systems I am attempting to bridge here... one based on some sense of communion and flow and another based on  critique... I am attempting to explore this 




epistemological issues re emergence
value of stored knowedge 
conceptions of security and privacy in the context of communion... (Territoriality - signs - Deleuze)
