Immaterials by Onformative imagines the form of metadata.

Onformative on their project:

Immateriality as material is currently being discovered, opening up a new poetic field in which to narrate with space and information. Location-based metadata waft through the space, and are thereby redefining contexts and places. A new field opens up to designers.

…this discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the learners’ souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves. The specific which you have discovered is an aid not to memory, but to reminiscence, and you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality.

«What we believe to be true is defined by our frame of reference.

The most adventurous journey to embark on; is the journey to yourself, the most exciting thing to discover; is who you really are, the most treasured pieces that you can find; are all the pieces of you, the most special portrait you can recognize; is the portrait of your soul.

Frailty

From the pure materialistic and “Newtonian” point of view, someday we will die. Forever. Everything of our being. From the capacity to explore our environment, our sky, our universe, to the eternal oblivion and emptiness. This make me think that the purpose of our lives is solely to reproduce and eventually discover something to help the new born children to make this meaningless existence a little more bearable. But if that is the case, isn’t reproduction, in the end, an evil act? How can we live with our conscience knowing that we imposed this kind of ephemeral existence to someone?

Be Happy

Thank you to all of you that answered my question so far. Your answers are awesome! You go deep to answer and that is just fantastic! Don’t believe me? Try to post the same question on your facebook account and see what happen…

Actually, this question had 2 purposes. The first one was to really know you a little bit, because there are so many people in the world and sometimes it troubles me to think that I will never be able to know everyone, even though they breath, they feel and they dream just like me! The other reason was also to make you all think about it, to know yourselves a little bit better, and discover new possibilities to change what you feel is not ok in your lifes, and what makes you sad…

And honestly I think you are awesome because you found that the aspects that really matter are all beyond materialism. In resume, love and art, your own art, those are the main aspects to happiness. And it is funny that we think alike on these aspects and though we still live in a kind of world that does not fully allow this to its full potential. Think about it, we all may be wanting the same things but we keep fighting with each other just because we don’t know it. Humans are humans, they need to talk, to share and to love.

(no need for endorphines if we discover all this) :P

Physics Teacher: “Isaac Newton was sitting under a tree when an apple fell on his head and he discovered gravity. Isn’t that wonderful?”

Student: “Yes sir, if he had been sitting in class looking at books like us, he wouldn’t have discovered anything.”

Awesome insight and a nice critic regarding current education system.
