Joyrex Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 From Random Architecture Memories: https://randomarchitecturememories.com/home/shift-toshio-matsumoto-1982 We have to do more to irritate and disturb modes of perception, thinking, or feeling that have become automatized in this way. I did several kinds of experiments from the 1970s to the 1980s that de-automatized the visual field. But when image technology progresses such that you can make any kind of image, people become visually used to that. That's why there's not much left today with a fresh impact. In this way, the problem is that the interpretive structure of narrating, giving meaning to, or interpreting the world has become so thoroughly systematized that one cannot conceive of anything else that is largely untouched. We have to de-systematize that. This video is screaming for an Autechre soundtrack 1

Joyrex Posted June 14, 2019 Author Posted June 14, 2019 I think that might be due to the change from BBCode to HTML... but still. I'll look into that! 1
Braintree Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 I think what he's basically saying is that in order to make things interesting, they need to be surprising. Breaking up an assumed automated way of thinking, etc, makes things surprising and far more interesting. I agree with that sentiment, but I think it's myopic to assume that what we currently have (or did in 1982...assuming the quote is from then) is all we'll have and won't be surprised by anything new.
