by Curt Cloniger Link: http://nictoglobe.com/new/query10.html?d=rtmfr42011&f=cloninger_on_bergson Reclaim the Mind, Friction Research Issue #4: Bergson's "S P I R I T" by Curt Cloninger Henri Bergson's understanding of time, memory, matter, and the mind have gone in and out of academic favor, largely depending on the latest discoveries in neuroscience. But to read Bergson as a kind of amateur Victorian neuroscientist, crippled by the science and technology of his time, is to miss the potential revolutionary thought of Bergson's philosophy. Curt Cloninger is an artist, writer, and Assistant Professor of New Media at the University of North Carolina Asheville (US). His art undermines language as a system of meaning in order to reveal it as an embodied force in the world. His artwork has been featured in the New York Times and at festivals and galleries from Korea to Brazil. He is the author of seven books and numerous articles which have been published in over ten languages. His writing has appeared in Intelligent Agent, Mute, Paste, Tekka, Rhizome Digest, A List Apart, and on ABC World News. Cloninger maintains lab404.com, playdamage.org, deepyoung.org, and lab404.tumblr.com in order to facilitate a more lively remote dialogue with the Sundry Contagions of Wonder. ::: Enjoy ::: http://nictoglobe.com/new/query10.html?d=rtmfr42011&f=cloninger_on_bergson -- Andreas Maria Jacobs - Editor "A Few of us were Left" w:http://nictoglobe.com (publication) w:http://burgerwaanzin.nl (net-art) w:http://nictoglobe.com/new/agam (artworks) w:http://nictoglobe.com/frictionresearch (research) e:[email protected] e:[email protected] _______________________________________________ Syndicate mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kuda.org/mailman/listinfo/syndicate _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
