a short manifesto of unknowing and a building...

a short manifesto

4000 A.d
when science and art are entirely
melted together to something new
when people will have lost their
remembrance and thus will have
no past, only future.
when they will have to discover everything
every moment again and again
when they will have lost their need for
contact with others .....
.... then they will live in a world of only
colour, light, space, time, time, sounds and movement
then colour light space time
sounds and movement will be free

no music
no theater
no art
no
there will be
sound
colour
light
space
time
movement

a short manifesto by stanley brouwn, from bulletin magazine, london, october 1964. image is quite a wonderful building for temporary exhibitions designed by brouwn, his first realized, from earlier this year. the scale is based on his own modular measuring system. more info here.

light forms...

images from lewis wright's light, published in 1882.

"as the physicist nears the confines of his kingdom... he finds himself compelled to speculate on invisible presences, if only to find a rational explanation for undoubted physical phenomena, and insensibly he slips over the boundary, and is, although he does not yet realize it, contacting the astral plane."

although seemingly connected to these images, this text is not from wright's book of science experiments; but written several years later in the introduction to annie besant and c.w. leadbetter's book thought forms. i wonder if besant and leadbetter were familiar with wright's images, and had them in mind when they wrote about a scientist moving beyond the rational.

wright's images are so compelling one wants to give them mystical connotations - and yet what could be more mystical than their rational explanations. the images transcend their rationality to exist as beautiful things, with visual poetic power greater than their intended meanings. where besant and leadbetter tend to rationalize the mystical to give proof of its existence; wright simply shows natural phenomenon in all its mystical and provocative beauty.
