Comment on These Human Contraptions: Art or Design by Antonio

I’m just reading Panofsky’s Essay “History of Art as a Humanistic Discipline” 1940. He has some interesting things to say about art and design…

• natural object -have the option to be experienced aesthetically or not (as art). But Natural objects contain ‘intention’ (will argue it has a super-function)

• Man-made objects – objects that either demand or do not demand to be experienced aesthetically. These can be browken down into “practical objects” and “art objects”

• Practical objects – are man-made objects that don’t have the need to be experienced aesthetically. Practical objects broken into two types: ‘vehicles for communication’ and ‘apparatus’ or ‘tools’. These practical objects are intended to fill a function.

• Art objects – are man-made objects that need to be experienced aesthetically. These too can fall into the categories of ‘vehicles for communication’ and ‘apparatus’ or ‘tools’.

• Both art objects and practical objects have form
(it’s part of coming to existence, at least this was the case before conceptual art)

• Both art objects and practical objects have ideas.

• When ideas and forms are balanced,the more ‘elloquantly’ it is to get content from it. When one over shadows the other, content is reduced. He gives the example of a spinning wheel as a strong idea with little content and an abstract painting as strong form with little content.

Comment on As Killing Fields Photographer Dies, War Trial Set to Begin by Tom

All of historie’s greatest dictators/mass murderers began their destruction with the disarming of the populous. The anti-gun supporter only sees the deaths of innocent victims, I on the other hand, also see the lives saved by firearms. As for removal of firearms from everyone…what else? Cutlery, vehicles, baseball bats, bricks? All regularly used as implements of death…

Divine goodness can only be achieved through proper government intervention, eh? How effective would the Khamer Rouge have been if the people had been armed? How effective would Hitler have been if the people hadn’t been disarmed? Who knows, but lopsided power, in any form, has always been the route to tyranny, and no organizations in the history of the world have been more tyrannical and devastating to the people than governments. Believing that you are safe is not the same as being safe, and no safety is absolute. The possibility of being shot as a result of breaking and entering or robbing someone puts pause in the hearts of those would commit those actions. Nothing is more of an open invitation to the committing of crime than knowing there is a reduced probability of bodily harm.

Rest assured that being the lamb will not result in inheriting the earth, rather it will make you suitable for slaughter.

Yes, if only we could make guns illegal there would be no more killing. I’m sure it would be every bit as effective as the war on drugs.

I don’t agree with you, although the words you use sound smart. Nothing ever wrong with love and connection, however there is something detrimental about delusion, particularly when that is + Love. Delusion can be cultivated as well, it is a powerful thing.
