What was Cornell trying to capture? A moment, a glimpse, an emotion, or a fabricated network of connections? Or was it his idea, a reflection of his sensory perceptions, or perhaps a message or silhouette of desire?

Cornell was all about the instant connection, the rush of emotion and the process of preservation. He was living a waking dream blurred into an illusion of reality mixed with a phantom of emotions.

Flashing Lights” was a song that came to my mind when I was envisioning Cornell snapping away images of the day to preserve later in his dossiers.


Riding through the wilderness of nature, Cornell
would often find himself lost in thoughts between nature, dreams, and the conscious or unconscious state of the imagination. While these thoughts and images were inspired from feeling that I took away from Cornell’s working method for collecting images for his bloxes, I was inspired by to learn about the way incentives tempt people to want to cheat the system, after all its logical, calculating and human nature to desire something and to think of a logical and easy way to achieve that goal.  But this cheating and incentive bait is generally kept hidden from view, so when it does appear or is detected, the instant response is to either to ignore its existence, or to otherwise be shocked and appalled by the reality. And the common or immediate response is that most people choose to ignore its existence, and so when cases of this deception is evident is quickly dissipated and disappears in the blink of an eye, or appears and then disappears as quickly as the flashing light of a camera. While I was reading Freakonomics I discovered that while experts can pin point the cheating that occurs in sumo wrestling, no body wants to give a F***k!


Exactitude & Graphics: Hierarchy

Logical Sequential or Preferential Ordering?

The graphic element that I found related to the quality of Exactitude represented some type of order in terms of importance, Hierarchy. By using a system of order, such as hierarchy, a viewer or reader would appear to be able to process information at an easier, quicker, and sharper rate. “Visual hierarchy controls the delivery and impact of a message. Without hierarchy, graphic communication is dull and difficult to navigate.” The image of the table and contents in the Graphic Book made me think of whether the table of contents was mapped out based on a logical-sequential ordering or whether it was mapped out based on the author’s preference. I would say that it is a matter of both. Since exactitude is both a mater of preference and logic.
