4/3

JAPANESE MUSIC —
NY TIMES — ‘classical’ music that looks interesting --
exploration of things — not as exploration —

THINKING last night — all the different text and art mixed together on the web site —
the links are important and need to be worked on
GRIDS — different grids for different texts and art — all in the same overall form[at] — 16x27
relate 6x9 to 16x27 or just use a different grid

<drawings>

EXPLORATION — languages — the cover of the japanese music i’m listening to — i like the red & black characters japanese use on images — (look at japanese books)

ART   + EXPLORATION LEARNING

- DESTRUCTION — culture objects —

you don’t learn how a clock works by taking it apart

SHAKUHACHI can be interesting or annoying — (like any instrument - beautiful or ugly —
a sharp edge

? take apart another computer — CONTEXT — take the components out of context — don’t bother trying to note what disk drives etc came from each computer

ELECTRO-MECHANICAL MARVELS — the way the movement of the tone arm starts the turntable movement — the way CD drives pull the disk in when it’s inserted part way —

note from record box — music ‘full of emotion’ — emotion is taken as positive — my emotions are mostly disgust and hatred — not much ‘warmth’
