We'll explore how diagrammatic methods are not only valuable pedagogical devices but speculative & theoretical methodological tools for constructing new realities. We'll explore the works of Ramon Lull, Agrippa, Lewis Carroll, Ada Dietz, Hilma af Klint, Anatoly Fomenko, & others...

In the early phase of developing a new lecture series on visual thinking, specifically geometric & diagrammatic methods. This series w/ a focus on the philosophy of the diagram explores a multiplicity of histories, theories, & practices from lit, math, arts & crafts, DH, occult & magical practice.

Spending time this morning thinking on the earth's own collective consciousness as I write a couple of abstracts for panels on weird modernisms & co-creation: human & non-human making processes & their environmental entanglements.

Unfortunately, I’m thinking about vector psychology — that is, typological psychology, & how I might hallucinate a missing dimension. Don't ask. I won't tell.

Weaving is a form of magic. For me, it has been not only an act of discovery that invites multiple readings, but it has cleared my mind of much of the stress that has plagued me for 3 yrs, & has brought much needed clarity in the avenues I not only want to pursue but need to pursue in the future.
