Weird Studies/Brian Eno
04 Feb 2022 - 13 Aug 2023
- Experiment, this one I will take notes live (usually hard to do because I listen to podcasts while driving or walking)
- Compares Eno to McLuhan, William Gibson, Glenn Gould (?)...in I guess they are very thoughtful about the nature of our attention and the techniques used to manipulated it. Theorists of the background
- Documentary Imaginary Landscapes sounds good.
- They also don't quite see Eno as "Weird" at least not obviously so. But "Weird" is weirdly hard to define so Eno might weirdly fit in.
- Nice theory of the grunginess of airports
- Haeccity and melacholoy, in ref to 1/2 track in particular 2/1 - Remastered 2004 - song and lyrics by Brian Eno | Spotify
- reminded me of wabi-sabi
- ref Freud 's essay on transience, that sounds interesting. Freud_Transience.pdf
- Suspicious of rhizomes and obliterating subjectivity...which makes sense given the slightly reactionary outlook of these folks...
- They are on about "content" but that's not very interesting.
- Hm, the idea that the Deleuzian reality of flows and rhizomes has actually come about since the 60s/80s and it sucks...interesting.
