È troppo facile pensare l'informe come l'opposto della forma.E pensare alla forma versus la materia. Perché questo “versus” riempie sempre i compiti della forma, che sono di creare delle opposizioni binarie, di separare il mondo in coppie di opposizioni nette, per mezzo di “ redingote matematiche”, secondo l'espressione di Bataille. Forma versus materia. Maschile versus femminile. Vita versus morte. Interno versus esterno. Verticale versus orizzontale ecc.. Il caos opposto alla forma è un caos che potrebbe sempre prendere forma, poiché la forma è da sempre lì ad attendere il caos.

Dobbiamo piuttosto pensare l'informe come qualcosa che è creato dalla forma stessa, secondo una logica che agisce logicamente contro se stessa, dall'interno, per cui la forma produce un’eterologia. Consideriamolo non come l'opposto della forma, ma come una possibilità che opera nel cuore della forma, per eroderla.

L'impiego che faccio dell'inconscio ottico così come è stato evocato nelle pagine di questo libro si riferisce dunque a quello di Benjamin. Se è possibile dire che si presenta come isolato nel campo del visivo, e perché così l'ha voluto un gruppo disparato di artisti che l’hanno “costruito” come proiezione dell’idea che la visione umana è ben lungi dal padroneggiare tutto ciò che abbraccia con lo sguardo, poiché è in conflitto con l’interno dell’organismo che essa abita.

Severo Sarduy, destacado escritor, poeta y crítico del arte procedente de Cuba, ofrece su perspectiva sobre la arquitectura barroca en su ensayo "La Cosmología Barroca: Kepler".

Imagen recuperada de: Biblioteca de Google Drive de Historia de la Arquitectura II

Sarduy profundiza en la intrincada interacción entre la estética barroca y el simbolismo cósmico. Las principales ideas o temas que Sarduy destaca en el texto son las siguientes:

1. La influencia de Kepler

Johannes Kepler, Episode #7 of the course “Unknown Scientists Who Changed The World”. Imagen recuperada de: enlace

Al vincular la estética barroca con temas cósmicos, Sarduy se inspira en Johannes Kepler, el renombrado astrónomo. El innovador trabajo de Kepler sobre el movimiento planetario y la armonía celestial resuena con las formas en espiral y los ritmos dinámicos de la arquitectura barroca. Kepler descubre el movimiento heliocéntrico de los planetas, lo que provoca un cambio de paradigma no sólo en la ciencia, sino en la manera de percibir la existencia humana en general en el siglo XVII, siglo de crisis existenciales y cambios de perspectivas.

La arquitectura barroca, de acuerdo a Sarduy, utiliza estos mismos modelos y figuras de elipses para todo tipo de edificaciones; se trata de una elasticidad del círculo, una "dilatación longitudinal". Ya la estricta perfección y orden del Renacimiento no se toman al pie de la letra. Las concepciones de la cosmología antigua y los órdenes clásicos empiezan a desdoblarse en la arquitectura, llevando a -en palabras de Sarduy- una "dialéctica formal", un diálogo dinámico entre las formas y las posibilidades que existen en ellas.

Extraído de página 185 del libro Ensayos generales sobre el Barroco. 1987

Se pasa de una estricta e inamovible perfección renacentista del círculo a una dinámica y cambiante "imperfección" del elipse, cambiando los puntos focales y la manera de percibir y experimentar el arte y la arquitectura.

Sarduy celebra la visión de Kepler como un puente entre lo terrenal y lo cósmico, reforzando la simbiosis entre arte y ciencia.

2. El Barroco como espejo cósmico

Sarduy sostiene que la arquitectura barroca sirve como reflejo del propio cosmos. Las fachadas ornamentadas, los detalles intrincados y las formas dinámicas que se encuentran en las estructuras barrocas reflejan la complejidad y la grandeza del reino celestial.

Así como los cielos están repletos de cuerpos celestes, los edificios barrocos rebosan de plasticidad, geometría compleja y transgresión de los órdenes clásicos, creando una sensación de abundancia y exuberancia cósmica.

3. La tensión dinámica entre orden y caos

La arquitectura barroca encarna una tensión entre el orden y el caos, entre la realidad y el engaño, entre lo preciso y lo ambiguo, entre la complejidad y la practicidad para resolverla. Sarduy ve esta tensión como un microcosmos de la lucha entre las leyes cósmicas (orden) y la entropía.

La elaborada ornamentación estructural (columnas retorcidas, escaleras de caracol, e ilusiones ópticas) simboliza la danza perpetua entre fuerzas cósmicas. Los arquitectos barrocos buscaron armonizar estos elementos opuestos, creando un delicado equilibrio que resuena con el equilibrio cósmico.

4. La teatralidad del espacio

Para Sarduy, la arquitectura barroca es inherentemente teatral. El juego de luces y sombras, el uso dramático de la perspectiva y la ilusión de movimiento dentro de estructuras estáticas evocan una sensación de actuación.

Justo cuando los actores suben al escenario, los edificios barrocos invitan a los espectadores a participar en un drama cósmico. El escenario arquitectónico se convierte en un lienzo para narrativas celestiales, donde los mortales interactúan con fuerzas y conceptos que les trascienden.

5. La búsqueda de la trascendencia

Los arquitectos barrocos buscaban la trascendencia: elevar los espacios terrenales hacia lo divino. Sarduy ve esta aspiración como un reflejo del deseo de la humanidad de conectarse con el cosmos, de la inmortalidad, de lo que está más allá de nuestra existencia limitada y efímera.

Las elevadas cúpulas, los intrincados frescos y los motivos celestiales evocan una sensación de ascenso, invitando a los espectadores a trascender la existencia mundana. La arquitectura barroca se convierte en un conducto para la comunión espiritual, uniendo lo terrenal y lo celestial.

A modo de conclusión personal, puedo decir que este ensayo de Sarduy sobre la arquitectura barroca y su relación con los descubrimientos de Kepler me ayuda a comprender de mejor manera el desarrollo del barroco y cómo se diferenció considerablemente de lo que se venía proyectando durante el Renacimiento y el Manierismo.

Como todo movimiento histórico, el Barroco se produjo en un contexto muy específico donde los nuevos descubrimientos tambaleaban las concepciones que se tenían, tal como lo fue el descubrimiento del movimiento heliocéntrico de los planetas.

Los arquitectos y artistas barrocos adaptaron este nuevo entendimiento a sus oficios, abrazando la crisis que trae el cambio, creando cosas nuevas sin olvidar lo que les precedía (los elementos y conceptos clásicos, el orden y la simetría). En la arquitectura barroca, se busca que todos los elementos se vuelvan piezas que contruyan una experiencia, donde la edificación no sólo se recorriera, sino que se viviera.

Greetings bugs and worms!

This comic is a little different than what I usually do but I worked real hard on it—Maybe I'll make more infographic stuff in the future this ended up being fun. Hope you learned something new :)

If you are still curious and want to learn more about OCD, you can visit the International OCD Foundation's website. I also recommend this amazing TED ED video "Starving The Monster", which was my first introduction to the disorder and this video by John Green about his own experience with OCD.

The IOCDF's website can also help you find support groups, therapy, and has lots of online guides and resources as well if you or a loved one is struggling with the disorder. It is very comprehensive!

Reblog to teach your followers about OCD

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?

Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".

My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.

The midjourney stuff just reminds of when we were trying to find a new platform to host the ao3 donation form, and companies kept trying to tell me about all their "ai" features that would track donor engagement, and figure out the optimal pattern to email individual donors asking for follow up donations, and all the ways they suggest we manipulate people into staying on our websites. It was a great way to filter out who either wasn't listening to us when we described our ethics and donor base, or just didn't believe us.

Now granted ao3 is a unique case based on a) the amount of page views we get in any given time period and b) the fact that most donors absolutely do Not want to be identified as such anywhere, (the default "list of recent donors" module got nuked Immediately) but it surprised me some that the concept of "donors who value their privacy and would be furious at even the whiff of AI" is unique. Some of us really are just existing in different worlds.

Meredith Rose‬ ‪@mrose.ink‬ November 8, 2024

This is not going to be a repeat of 2016-2020. It will be better, it will be worse, but most of all it will be different. Here are things I want every single person to keep in mind as we head into round 2 of a Trump admin.

My credentials: I’m a queer female public interest attorney working on tech policy in DC. I’ve been doing this for a decade--longer than some, not as long as others. I had to navigate three different administrations, as well as Congress, regulatory agencies, courts, and the advocacy world.

FIRST: don’t let despair override your media literacy.

The left has grifters, just like every other movement. If you’re able and compelled to donate, give to orgs with established track records. Avoid giving to individuals, especially anyone who emerges overnight with a one-weird-trick “plan.”

The left is not immune to misinformation, and everyone—EVERYONE—falls for it sometimes, present company included. There is no shame in it. When (not if) it happens to you, you should acknowledge it; delete or retract the post to reduce the spread; and move on.

If a source consistently shares half-truths or outright misinformation, it is not trustworthy, no matter how much “their heart is in the right place.” Unfollow and move on.

Prediction, analysis, and reporting are three fundamentally different things. Learn to identify them for what they are. Reject attempts by amateur “analysts” to predict the future. They know as much as you do.

Real subject matter experts know and acknowledge their limits. They’re also (usually) hesitant to try and predict the future. The best frame their predictions in terms of a range of possible outcomes. Subject matter experts may also disagree with one another! It happens!

SECOND: What we know for sure about how the Trump, how he operates, and how that will impact the next four years.

Trump is a narcissist who avoids reading and doesn’t care about details. He cannot be persuaded by argument or logic; he’s moved mostly by flattery, and will agree with the last person who flattered him. He can and will upend his own administration’s work without warning, often by tweet.

As a result, most policy experts—even those "on his side"—dread him taking an interest in their field. Ask any Republican staffer who worked in Congress during the last administration, and most of them will confirm that their greatest fear was Trump tweeting about anything related to their work.

As such, people who are serious about their work will do everything to make it as invisible and boring-seeming as possible. This is the policy equivalent of defensive camouflage. Lots of “normie” work will continue in silence. (The lion’s share of tech policy ends up in this bucket.)

If you have a niche issue that you care about, now is a great time to donate to orgs that work on it. Lots of money will be funneled to big legacy orgs working on headline issues: ACLU, climate change orgs, etc. Consider sending your donations where they matter most: local, niche, established.

Trump runs his cabinet like the Apprentice. He thrives on chaos and making people compete for his approval. Not only does he not reward collaboration between his subordinates, he actively undermines it.

Moreover, everyone who works with him knows that they’re vulnerable to being thrown under the bus at a moment’s notice, for any reason (or for no reason at all). His cabinet is going to be scorpions in a bottle. They will not be able to coordinate, for good or ill.

One scorpion can still do a lot of horrific damage. But large scale inter-agency coordination is unlikely, particularly after the first few months, by which point he will likely (prediction warning!) have gone through a handful of cabinet secretaries already.

FINALLY: The view from inside civil society heading into 2025.

In 2016, Trump was a largely unknown quantity. The left and establishment right alike wasted a lot of time trying to read tea leaves and make sense of this guy, because he was completely outside the realm of what anyone had dealt with. That’s not happening now.

He did us a favor by broadcasting his plans in advance (aka Project 2025). Civil society has spent the last 2.5 years strategizing around it. We’re not starting off flat-footed.

The Biden admin did a good amount to future-proof its own achievements. Folks can speak to their own areas of expertise, but clean energy and CHIPS and Science Act (investing in domestic semiconductor production) have benefitted from huge sunk investments. That money’s not getting clawed back.

OVERALL TAKE-AWAYS:

It's going to suck. But civil society and the political left have some advantages we didn't have last time. We know him, we know his angles, and we know who he's bringing in--none of which we had in 2016.

We'll get through this. It will be grim, but we'll get through it.

John Cutting‬ ‪@johncutting.bsky.social‬

Thanks Meredith. I really valued your analysis over the past few years, and I think this is a reasonable, actionable framework to think about the upcoming storm

Meredith Rose‬ ‪@mrose.ink‬

I really cannot overstate how much time was (necessarily) wasted in 2017 trying to figure out this guy and his influences. The fact that he's not only a known quantity, but ran the most over-studied administration in this nation's recent history, makes this a very different game.

John Cutting‬ ‪@johncutting.bsky.social‬

I bet we can weaponize his narcissism. Let's say some ghoul starts making progress with a mass deportation effort, if we start calling that ghoul that "shadow president" en masse, Trump would fire him in right away and appoint Hulk Hogan or something

‪Meredith Rose‬ ‪@mrose.ink‬

This is exactly why I don't think Musk will last very long. Trump is very clear that he's the only one in the room allowed to have an ego or any kind of brand name.
