HE TITLE , of course, is Kurt Cobain's trenchant revision of that tired old dictum of Descartes, and also a recipe for a certain kind of bliss. We enter this conference from so many directions, some of us astride vectors, that my instinct is to try and finesse a coherence out of it all. I would like to connect everything that has been said before me but alas I can't. I'm a novelist and I'm primarily interested in particulars. I have an appetite for the specific and the concrete. And yet here I am, obviously and easily seduced by abstractions like bliss.
When Bernard Cache made the little curve on the screen with his color markers, I was delighted, I think by the elegance of his gesture, and yet abstraction seems to be what we were all flying toward on the wings of his particular charms. A series of curves would not have been enough without his larger generalizations which encompass and make coherent the amazing diversity of his gestures. We might have thought he was dumb if he'd just given us the shapes and no theory, and that is interesting to me.
I propose to be dumb without being stupid. Mostly I want to tell you about the city where I live. Let's say I'm a subject of a study giving info to the anthropologists, with all of the problems that metaphor implies. Abstraction will sneak in to destroy me at the end. I am sort of like a dog-bite victim who still likes the dog. I want to tell you specifically what it's like to live in the built environment of Seattle, and then afterwards I'll toss together a generalized conclusion, a little theory hovel for all of us to cower in, which maybe can connect my experience to some of what else is being said today.louis vuitton
