Re: [design]


meditation:
 
emptiness is form
form is emptiness

hi cheryl, i've wanted to respond to all the great ideas
you've been sharing, especially your way of communicating
them - it is vital, full of energy, insights, and poetics.

the above reminds me of a the work of edward t. hall who
writes/wrote about cultural differences in terms of design.
one of the anecdotes from one of his several books is the
idea of 'space' between eastern and western worldviews,
in that apparently space is considered empty in the latter
while in the former it is considered full. this was once
discussed in-depth for tens of posts sometime in the last
decade, i forget the timeline, though i think the word
'ma' has something to do with it (book is not handy to
reference to find out). in any case wondering if anyone
is familiar with the work of edward t. hall or the
concept of full space versus empty space... brian
