open tabs, week 13 – boustrophedon; mirrors, fertility, capitalism, control; process books; Alyson Provax

lower left, performative definition of boustrophedon (as the ox turns) writing, left to right, next line right to left, etc etc), plowing plowing all the livelong day...

elsewhere, two attempts to suggest how mirror + iphone/camera + tripod contraption might be understood and built, for Claire.


I mentioned this essay, on fertility (and capitalism, environmental crises, climate change, etc etc) yesterday. I add the link here, noting that an exhibition at Harvard's Graduate School of Design (through 20 December) may relate in some ways. these links (and annotations) are also at our disegno pinboard bookmark site.

May pertain more directly to Cailee's work.

Love in a Mist (and the Politics of Fertility)

A hothouse of questions about controlling women, fertility, nature
To control women, fertility, and nature itself
Christina Pazzavanese. Harvard Gazette (November 18, 2019)

“Love in a Mist (and the Politics of Fertility),” the fall exhibition at Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD), explores difficult questions of fertility, growth, and control in humans and nature.


process books

can be self-made, or via lulu (where you'll need to create an account).
consider book/trim sizes, and paper (including cover) stock/options.

all listed at our products

if you use Lulu, get your book delivered the week BEFORE evaluations (ideally before Tuesday 10 December, our last meeting), to be sure it's here on Monday the 16th.


Alyson Provax

maybe of interest to Nicole (especially), for her obsessive workings of simple phrases and sentences, to where they reveal more than one might have thought possible.
