I wonder what will happen if I float "myself" (cardboard) in a body of water and watched it change?
The whole body controlling mind thing can get pretty loopy when your thinking about hunger:
So my brain is telling my body to go get food but it is my body that has the need for the food. My brain is part of my body and needs the food to function. If my mind did not tell my body to go get some food how would my body know that it should do so? Would it starve? Would there be an 'I' to starve?
On another note:
I am really excited about the new developments in the fine art department. I think the mentoring is a great first step. Part of the point of going to college is the opportunity to be a part of a community and to feel close enough to everybody (and this is such a small department) to be able to have conversations about what we are learning here, our individual practices, and relate it to what is currently going on in the world . I know all of that could happen without a mentor program or facilitated "get togethers" but I feel it is unique to find a place where the faculty is truly passionate about what they are doing and a certain environment that is created at Watkins which fosters community in such a way.
two websites to check out:
we make money not art
broken city lab is an art group from Windsor Canada. If you look though the archive and tags you can find some pretty interesting things.
