the kitchen of seeing
January 21, 2008
(click on panorama for bigger version)
So, something is seriously wrong with my Internet right now. I click on things and weird things happen, the page flickers and reloads repeatedly. This sucks because I was trying to write about some of the things that interested me conceptually in regards to this panorama, and it all got wiped out as soon as I clicked save. I don’t feel like writing it all again right now, but any comments anyone wishes to share in general is welcome. All I’ll say is that it was primarily influenced by Roland Barthe’s essay on semiotics, “The Kitchen of Meaning,” and Martha Rosler’s video, “The Semiotics of the Kitchen.”
Don’t you hate it when you lose stuff for absolutely no reason? Its insane! I swear to God, I am like Midas – but everything I touch turns to nothing! I’m misplacing things left and right! In fact, I kid you not, the best way for me NOT to lose something is to actively try and misplace it. It is incredible, I think I am super human.
So, anyway, here’s some more Calvin & Hobbes comic strips I like. Smile.

It’d be great if you’d recommit to your post because I’d be interested to hear why you chose the panorama to convey the ideas you’re raising in your project.

No promises, but if I have time I may.
