is to go beyond derrida is to go beyond books?

mirrors in a painting involve the audience acting as an accomplice. interestingly the exterior of the painting will change with different viewers. even if the viewer moves slightly the painting will change. does this show a point of undecidability. does this show the highly subjective nature of paintings?

the present is recorded and is analyzed in the future. techniques for recording the present include, images, books, films, speech, art, science, and history. are we producing the past in the present?

an important concept is the role of the individual. it is every individuals right to freedom (personal and political). every individual builds his or her own unique base knowledge. when one person sees an object, another may see it differently. meaning varies between individuals as each individual has a different base knowledge. an aeroplane may be a means of transportation for me, but for a native, deep in the papua new guinean jungle it may mean something completely different

the public approach art with their own unique base knowledge

art does a good job of deconstructing knowledge; showing the viewer its meaning is relative and temporary by discovering new items or ideas that are thought to be art. the art of today is only a basis or guide for art of the future; it is not a law of the way art should proceed from now on.

difficulty with art is how does it proceed with decisions or discoveries if everything can be art

the problem with art is with the individual, every individual is coming from a different point of view, with different wants and needs, with different base knowledge. therefore an art that appeals to everyone is impossible

in order to ask a question we must have some understanding of what we are asking about

hermeneutic circle: our questioning is a kind of light which casts a certain pattern on the phenomena, while also filling in our expectation in a way that allows us to ask further questions, thus advance our understanding

understanding is determined by pre judgements (prejudice), these pre judgements form our effective history (objects are grasped through the accumulation of history)

theoretical understanding assumes a detached neutral view point, which at the same time we can see all sides of the matter. we as humans are however finite and situated, so all we can achieve is within our current practices

human beings are primarily engaged in an activity of making sense of understanding (all that can be understood is language)

hermeneutics must open us up to others, as we remained trapped in our own tradition. to increase our understanding involves the desire to be understood by others and risk ones own assumptions

the past is not so much a recovery of the past, but mediation with the past. the correct exercise of hermeneutics recognizes both historical distance and relation of meaning between the past and us

we can only understand things from where we are now (for texts must correctly identify its own tradition)

modern science and mass communication has a distorted, alienating effect

the power of modern science lies in its detached symbolic power. that allows scientists to take a standpoint that is beyond the world (whilst remaining in the world). just as one is able to map terrain better from an aeroplane, the more one distances itself from the earth; he more one is able to comprehend thought
