SITELESS

I just bought the book Siteless by Francois Blanciak. Seems like I am always finding out about books way after I should. This was published in 2008. And I only found out about it...

“Thus (through perspective) every sort of confusion is revealed within us; and this is that weakness of the human mind on which the art of conjuring and of deceiving by light and shadow and other ingenious devices imposes, having an effect upon us like magic” Plato

‘We’ve conflated craft with skill and design with art when, following the German definition of Kraft, it should be about more than just making. It is the poser, the force, the knowledge and the window behind making – the craft behind it. Langlands.

“…the image which relies on ‘knowledge’ only is ‘purely conceptual,’ and the history of art, as we have seen, becomes the history of the expulsion of this intruder.” Gombrich.
