Feeling Groovy makes me want to do violence.

Pretty much only give a shit about writing nature-centric phenomenology on mediumism & spirt art + exploring the intersection of mathematics & literature.

Will do my best today to write on vegetal anti-metaphysics, alongside a speculative, & final theory of physics today, one that accommodates consciousness and the passage of time. Echo Deleuze: "...a pure multiplicity of immanence." Yours, 🔺(+/-) 🌀

Craving slice of green chile apple pie.

Listening to a conversation a profound puzzle in physics -- that is, TIME. Currently offended by the sound of the wall clock ticking behind me, as it feels disrespectful when thinking about an extended & "final theory" of physics that includes a marriage of quantum & relativistic theories.

I still find it wild that measurement asserts something is undoubtedly true.

Abigail's Party! 👏🏼

Luce Irigaray is truly remarkable.

What’s happening in Sicily, Italy 🇮🇹 is absolutely extraordinary! Mount Etna is erupting while its summit remains covered in snow—an incredible clash of fire and ice. Here are some explorers skiing between lava flows and snowy slopes—a truly unprecedented sight! ⛷🔥❄️

Conclusion: Toward a Dialectical & Speculative Art History. My chapter is nearing an idiom: "That's a wrap!"

Literal email I just sent: Dear _____, I was looking at a diagram of a frog retina and thought it might be time to have another chat. Best, Emily

As I conclude my chapter on #afKlint, which asks art history to reimagine itself from its limits, I’ll leave u w/ this process philosophy banger: '"The world will again sink into the boredom of drab, rational thought unless we retain in the sky some reflection of light from the sun of Hellenism.'"

Ufff 💦

Don't mind if I do...

This 1935 gem probably won't make it into my #AAH presentation on mediumism & plants, but I do love it!

After more than 3 hours of nonstop writing, I’ve reached the section of my chapter where I speculate on the relationship between Hilma af Klint’s forms, exploring their connection to mathematics & occultism. It’s time to regroup w/ the cosmic sounds of this angel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNpJ...

I may have written another insane paper. As in, beyond comprehension.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

Starting to see in weaving draft patterns.

This album is SO slick! www.youtube.com/watch?v=90oT...

Well, I have reached the point in my paper (near the end), where I'm like: I'm not educated enough to write this and wtf even is modernity.

Going forward, I'm going to open all my public taIks with: I'm here to explore impossible models.

A suggested pairing 💙🐬🌊 @alexispauline.bsky.social

I'll be sitting here this evening w/ Steiner & infinitesimal calculus.

Anyone attending #AAH conf at Uni of York this April? I’m presenting some nature-centric phenomenology on plants & mediumism for a session on Art, Esotericism & the Ecological Imagination. Info & abstracts here: forarthistory.org.uk/art-esoteric...

@profstorm.bsky.social continues to slay.

For anyone engaged in research on women artists interested in esotericism. The NORDIK conf has listed a CFP: Nordic Women, Art, & Esotericism. I'd absolutely submit if I wasn't presenting at AAH conf in York that same month: www.helsinki.fi/en/conferenc...

Lucile Montagne, Chief Curator at the Mobilier national, gave such an excellent talk this afternoon on tapestries & the long tradition of the Gobelins & Beauvais factories, which remain faithful to the traditional technique on the loom.

➕ I have been writing & reading about nothing but form, problematizing hegemonic systems & the dominant ideology around works of art w/ esoteric themes (I feel intellectually wild & positive regarding this work).

Flattering to find my work nested alongside Oulipo writers & mathematicians.
