The Phenomenology of
Perception:
…there are things in front of us
that we can only perceive if we
have the framework.
Clara Ursitt Olfactory Artist
The Phenomenology of
Olfactory Perception:
…there are things in front of us
that we can only perceive if we
have the framework.
Clara Ursitt Olfactory Artist
Merleau Ponty 1962, The Phenomenology of Perception, trans Colin
Smith, Routledge
Any object presented to one sense calls upon itself the concordant operation
of all the other senses’ (p318) ‘for the senses communicate with each other’
(p225). The senses interact in perception as the two eyes collaborate in vision
(p234)
Clara Ursitt, The Phenomenology of Olfactory Perception, Art and Research:
A journal of ideas, Contexts and Methods Vol.2, 2008
… we are all synaesthetes, Just some more acutely than others.
Deleuze, Gilles. Différence et répétition. Presses Universitaires de France. 1968.
Representation fails to capture the affirmed world of difference.
Deleuze, Gilles. Différence et répétition. Presses Universitaires de France. 1968.
What is recognized is not only an object but also the values attached to the object
(values play a crucial role in the distribution undertaken to make good sense).
Deleuze, Gilles. Nietzsche et la philosophie. Presses universitaires de France
Vendôme. 1962. Paperback, 233 pages, Language French, ASIN: B0014XAK6Q.
We will never find the sense of something (of a human, a biological or even a
physical phenomenon) if we do not know the force which appropriates the
thing, which exploits it, which takes possession of it or is expressed in it.
