Today I am remembering

The Emeritus Professor of Greek who asked me if I knew the meaning of the name of my own organisation (Allographic). He was very excited to tell me, even though I’d already answered in the affirmative, and in detail.

(I am also remembering quite how long it took me to launch the damned thing, because I spent so long agonising over the name.)

Enthusiasm I get. I grok with. Enthusiastically. Infodumping? Sharing nerdy passions? Absolutely. More of that please. This was, at best, unfortunate communication skills...

A link to Cabinet Magazine’s press release for their exhibition of String Figures by Harry Smith - a really eccentric figure who did deep research into his subjects of interest. The text provides a bio and also a sentence giving some background of String Figures.

Link to artist Eske Rex's website, specifically for his project "Drawing Machine 02". The drawing tool is a performer and artwork, the drawing action is equally an artwork and the final drawing is also the artwork alongside being, perhaps, an artifact.
