Conrad Shawcross Notes

Conrad Shawcross - all architects trying to work out what an object does. Rope metaphor for time, starts to fall down when you try to define each element. Limitations of our language - unless physicists can only understand these things through metaphor. Each rope run for a year so you can find a moment in time on the rope - records a tangle. Analogy of time, history of the world. Failed time machine  makes a much more interesting artwork. More words there are the more meaning because they start to define each other, like musical notes, like people in a room. Trying to unseat and something by taking into different mediums, like analogies. Ada lovelace,  number not just quantity but entity.  'From which that it came' mother and child, one born d from the other. How to represent molecules...something we will never see but need to represent. Molecular aeathetics/neuro aesthetics. Artists needed by scientists to represent invisible.
