Hi Karsten;
thank you for sharing Terra Incognita.
It certainly inspires some vision of reality, if there is "reality".
This is the best discussion ever I think on this theme.
I like this AAcorn network because it makes me think always how many options we have for opening our minds, eyes and ears.
It is now 22:00 here and I propose to open even more gates of experience with a long slow malt whisky.
But then will I dream of men and women falling from the skies or dancing round a lake?
Thank You again
David

> Hi David Atkinson. Thanks for these comments:"I think the fundamental
problem is that we have come to read our models and maps as reality, and
not a guide to the possibilities of a reality. Here Baudrillard (writing
in 1981) has a point... ‘[t]oday abstraction is no longer that of
the map, the double, the mirror, or the concept. …It is the
generation by models of a real without origin or reality: a hyperreal.
The territory no longer precedes the map, nor does it survive it. It is
nevertheless the map that precedes the territory.' We have forgotten how
to read maps and explore unknown territory - for that we need judgement."
I'm just one of those artists, you aacorners are theorizing about.Not
a scholar at your level.I just paint! Believing that organizations are
all about human beings. I think I just painted what you said about
mistaking maps for reality.I'd like to send it to you. Here you are: I
call the painting Terra Nova or Terra Incognota. (Attached)Thank you for
helping to understand my painting deeper - enabling me to paint the next
version. This morning I read trough the whole "actualisation"-debate, and
found David Weir quoting someone else:
"Draw it!!" or "If you can't see it, you can't say it!"
I wonder what would happen to our aacorn conversation if we ate our own
medicine: The artsYummy!Less words. More colour. Best Karsten Auerbach
