The history of Chinese painting and the history of Chinese research on magnetism converge in the word dao. I doubt that the dao is useful for contemporary artistic practice.
Magnes: There was a time when people conceived me as a sort of key. A key to experiences of infinity, of the universe, of the sublime.
Realometer: Given that it makes sense to speak of origins and starts: When did calculation start? It must have started with inscription, with carving.
Natel: With what we today call graphical interfaces. What about tattoos?
Realometer: First man carved into his own flesh, then into the ground apart from him.
Jabès: Singing chants challenges inscription and writing.
Realo: Texts are frozen waves, which are set into movement by reading and copying. Copying a text is a form of creating an atmosphere, of tuning in.
