Family resemblance


I thought we should mention Wittgenstien and family resemblance as it sort of fits in and I thought we could all collect a little family of things which is a bit like the encounters shop which can be seen here (Kate tell me how to do a Hyperlink) Google encounters and Sharrow) I took a picture of my dog the other day and it reminded me of Kate P picture on her Blog - I am going to call it "avoiding the Canine Gaze" it may be the start of a family

Wittgenstien talked about family resemblance in the world - sort of the things different things have in common he also talks about rhizomes a lot which is a way of looking at the world and the way things are connected compared to a potatoe or bulb structure of independant connected parts - rather than there been an (Aborial) root for an idea or thought or thing which everything goes back to - Your objects are like a family with certain things in common and certain things different the rhizome could be the thing they have in common. I'm just posting rambles and thoughts as it's helping the process it's not to be understood and I'm not looking for clarity. but we can meet and tallk it through if you like -
