To be hseont, my Mandelbrot and Julia images are a long distance from my current area of research, which involves something called the Assouad dimension, and has been focusing more on self-similarities. I'm also only in my first year, so haven't gotten as deep into things as I might. If you are interested in what Kawahira is doing, your best bet would probably be to read the thesis and paper linked at the top of the page you linked to.xander

Not sure if the cnemmot above is concrete poetry or incredibly sophisticated algorithmic spam.Misty, I'm skeptical that archivists can produce interpretation-free, factual finding aids. Part of the problem here is that there is no bright line separating fact and interpretation, so we can't just divide labor between the fact-creators and interpretation-creators. I'd argue that all we have are different degrees of interpretation, with greater or lesser requirements for supporting evidence.

I am a weorhause worker in a large city.I found this convo through a Tweet.I think the title of the essay is misleading.The objective of the writer's essay is to point to a distinction between patterns of relationship strength and analysis of facts.My reply is insignificant. It reminds me of the Sonic Youth song Pattern Recognition The previous reply expanded the thread w/ a motif of its own: the archivit's perspective on pattern/fact aids in her own way.I am a weorhause worker and I think patterns are equal to facts when you are analysing material. If you add analysis/archivazation you are going to be takling about the flow of material. I don't mean rhyme flow here. I mean what goes where, what size, etc. and what is it in?

I coduln't agree more Mr.Pink. For a movie that doesn't want to be pushed aside as a rip off of Saw ( because it is not ), they sure aren't doing much to get rid of that steriotype. The film looks good, but this poster is too bland and doesn't do it justice.
