Joculum has presented me with an interesting example of W. observing a man on stage, and a short treatise on the psychology of viewing. I like the idea of Wittgenstein as a new, informed sort of observer. Here is a man who can possibly "see" Shrodinger's cat and tell us if all is well? I had already surmised that W would prefer a reality based on observing actions, rather than relating through words. The simple writer's dictum: show, don't tell. The theater, or movies as higher forms of art. But what about images that lie? W. doesn't care because they all signify something knowable. A book that is entirely devoted to this topic of the viewer, the viewed, and the interior and exterior spaces of art is: The Model by Robert Aickman. This book gives me aesthetic shivers of a profound and unknown kind.

A MELANCHOLIA Spin-off
This is not a review, but it certainly must be a response to the film. It's the log of a dream I had recently: I woke up suddenly in the middle of…
