Now that was an example of Skype working really well. Somehow the whole thing gelled and there were great questions. It was nice to see Greg Garrard and Richard Kerridge in the audience and their questions were superb. We must stop meeting like this! Thanks to Adeline Johns-Putra for putting this on.
In particular, there was a question about the role of hesitation and openness, and I was able to answer well, though it was only 7am my time. The point is, ecological awareness means we have tremendous cognitive vertigo and openness at the same time as we're getting on with things. We're saving the boy from the onrushing truck, but at the same time, we are saying to ourselves “This is not my beautiful boy, this is not my beautiful house...” pace David Byrne.
i think the original quote is "this is not my beautiful wife, this is not my beautiful house." am i right that it's from the Talking Heads or were they quoting someone else? you've done some spring cleaning on it, anyway.
