En algunas oportunidades al regresar a mi casa en
las últimas dos cuadras en suave bajada me gustaba disminuir la marcha
de mi automóvil, ponerlo en la primera velocidad y dejarlo en suave
ralentí.
La impaciencia habitual de la rutina inconsciente nos
impulsa acelerar para llegar “pronto”, en vez de llegar en cinco
minutos a la velocidad que me gustaba podría llegar en tres.Pero me
encantaba ir lento para disfrutar el “paisaje”, sí, el paisaje que todos
los días ignoramos, el de nuestra
calle, las aceras, los árboles, la calzada, sus irregularidades y
huecos, los colores y texturas de los muros, pero sobre disfrutar sobre
todo del Tiempo que desconocemos y cambiamos por un frenesí que a nada
conduce.
¿Queremos vivir alienados, con la velocidad del
nano-segundo, con la prisa de llegar a ningún lugar, sufrir enredados en
lo maquinal?.
El tiempo
que vivimos es impulsado por nuestra cultura hacia lo infinitesimal,
quiero retornar a las distancias a pie, a los espacios donde tiempo lo
marcaba el ritmo de los cascos de los caballos sólo interrumpido por el
sonido del viento…. |

a. To express Bergsonian Time: beyond the insipid snapshots of time, the continuous indivisible Time that only is approximated in the clock time version needed to “be on time” in our daily tasks or to perform technical computations.
b. To give the feeling of a painted scene. I believe that in this way one may get what Proust’s complex recovering of one’s past is about. I have the idea that this process may well be extended to pick up from a foreign (to us) location thoughts and feelings not experienced by ourselves from a past embedded in the location.Ref. Rupert Shelldrake Morphogenetic Field? |

Silly comparison, just bytes that will perish in my hard disk and will be destined for oblivion

| Bergsonian
time is an amazing idea. I used to despise it long ago when I was a
science fan and followed ardently Bertrand Russell's refutation to
Bergson. Today I am considering more carefully the idea that Time is
indivisible and not just a sequence of snapshots. Having said that, my
conclusion is that long exposure describes better reality than "focused"
descriptions. That is why I think there is a huge difference between
painting and photography in general. |

Another sample of "dogmatic thought"?

|
Ludwig Wittgenstein once said that “it is in speaking that we discover what is that we want to say”
It is in painting that we disclose our images?
|
What is Time? For physicists it is basically the Line of the Real Numbers System; just a little more than the 2500 years old definition of Aristotle. Naive, naive, naive..
