"the city gives the illusion that the world doesn't exist , smithson 1966"
"Western scientific thought describes the individual as becoming egocentric when he
learns to distinguish himself from the rest of the world he experiences around him.
This is the Freudian concept of the ego. But according to Zen masters this
separateness is pure illusion. Rather we are all that we perceive. The Eastern
philosophies of Zen contest the worldview that we are separate from nature and from
our environment. Zen thinking explains this feeling of separateness from the world
around us as something we were taught as babies until the time we inculcated it
(Juniper 2003, 22-23)."
- "It is only by immersing ourselves in the time of nature that we can distance ourselves from aspects
of our ego and return to a state of connection"
what would happen if we were to go about this in such a way that would bring the viewer back into a more child like state? using the senses, and perception of space. creating stimuli.
