white is not even a colour..... -----Original Message----- From: Andrew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: donderdag 8 april 2004 12:58 To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: RE: (313) new Mills
Sorry to pile in here...philosophy background coming into play ;-) "Mills chose the symbolic colour of white as the vinyl colour in the design to represent an unknown destination in space and/or time" This is actually justified conceptually by thinking about a situation where you are in space which is completely white - no other information is being received by you. You therefore have no sense of change in your environment other than your inner sense of space and/or time, and so in an limited sense these things cease to exist. Philosophically I call this a 'white room' scenario, actually a very interesting situation which highlights certain things about how we perceive and know anything at all. So there!
