Ever since 'Existere' the amount of themes we have started to explore have widened, the topics have become increasingly philosophical. Here is a small summary of some of the things which we have been discussing: 

self-identity

perception

free will/ choice    /prediction

collaboration

existence/ consciousness

why we feel the need to experience (discussion with Joc in Egypt) 

nothingness/ absence/ gaps

anxiety

echoes/ repetition

vertigo

Before going into greater detail I am also using this Blog to drop down some of the ideas we have had, I think the individual words will be enough to remind of the vague ideas we were discussing

sea saw, ladder, flag, 

holes

mirrors

tunnels

staring project

possible existing work we may want to show in Sion:

cabinet 

white elephant

beast?

...to be expanded

I read this recently which I thought interesting in terms of the black space. Especially as you say you feel you can't go 'beyond' the black space before experiencing it.

I guess we have to find a direction, a train of thought we can all follow, consolidate our focus...

Extract from the Philosophy of Shadows

"Do we need light to see? In chapter 10, I argue that the black experience of a man in a perfectly dark cave is a representation of an absence of light, not an absence of representation. There is certainly a difference between his perceptual knowledge and that of his blind companion. Only the sighted man can tell whether the cave is dark just by looking. But perhaps he is merely inferring darkness from his failure to see. To avoid ambiguity, we need to focus on cases in which belief plays no role. After this and other safeguards are in place, I make my case that we do see the darkness. (So I am siding with general ver- sions of the causal theory—e.g., Michael Tye’s [1982; 2002, 157, 168 fn. 11]—that do not restrict the type of causal relation to that light transmission.) In terms of basic information, we see about as much as we do when the lights are on. Depending on what has been seen before and after, we may even see ordinary objects. I conclude that we do see in total darkness."
