open for discussion.

chronology, geography, situation. does the wall-map fold together these three concerns? i believe it should be a conflation of situation (gallery, immediate locale) and geography (the representation of abstract relationships, the north american city states). chronology is left to the narrative and the formatting of materials. situation is the binding agent as it should be, that ties geography to chronology through the wall-map. however, the wall-map, needing a primarily geographic status in order to communicate with idiots who do not know where groom, tx is, should then indirectly inform situational concerns about the formatting of pieces on the wall. in other words, the wall map should not just be a throwaway plotting of points, it should also shake out a set of values for how work is placed on the wall in order to infuse the chronology with a broader relevance.

jc, we have to meet these aia/moda d00ds tomorrow!

do you reckon we ought to bring something? maybe print out our logs (not the ones in san pedro) to share with them?

listening to neil sedaka and plotting la première étape d’amsterdam houston.

amsterdam: atlanta to remington, narrative keypoints along the route (fording the ohio river into indiana, the knoxville pallisades). {publius/3 heads to virginia} remington to arlington, containing an encounter with publius/3 and a visit to the former capital. westward travel with publius/3 is discontinued in branson after an unfortunate situation. {publius/3 tangent} amsterdam travels westward through groom and into the desert. {publius/3 heads south to the desert from bismarck (or wherever)} groom to winslow, containing an encounter with publius/3 at which point the duo complete their trek to the republic of los angeles county to toil on a crabapple collective.

i don’t know how much we need to show them to express our ideas for the presentation, but i imagine that i have the ability to work on that, currently. what i was addressing in my previous comment was/is the work that will be on the wall itself, as opposed to what we will propose to them (between thanksgiving and xmas, according to format). i can’t be drawing on boards or vellum as i don’t have a desk or t-square anymore.
