after rereading your first post i was reminded again of a memory segment on radiolab--an nyu offshoot of npr. i listened to it over the summer, and it presents some interesting investigations that i find myself thinking about from time to time. how memory takes on a physical form, and how some scientists are working on ways to both add and delete memory (or maybe just causing brain damage? they're not sure.)
i also never got a chance to hear/see more about the drawings you were making in the summer. they're really dynamic, how big are they? AND when can we see them in person? I imagine that they've informed the 3d line drawings you're creating now. I was watching an interview with Matthew Richie, where he was talking about the infinite lifespan of a drawing--which really caught me because i think of drawings as fragile creations existing on paper (he was discussing this idea while projecting an drawing onto the wall, then manipulating it in illustrator, and having one lazer-cut in steel.) I'll try to find the context, and bring it to class.
the work you've been making lately is incredibly charged-- beautiful and disturbing. Your poem reminds me a little bit of Hugo Ball's sound poems in the way that you're reading them. Maybe you'd find some interesting parallels with a bit of google-ing. we watched this in senior seminar.
