Hilary Koob-Sassen to Niall Hobhouse
Thursday, August 17th, 2006Avante gardening and Trellis formation philosophy:
If the FOA paths system is made from (extracted, refined and recombined)
non-living materials (and also, ideally, if it has water or other infrastructure in it),
Then from the vantage point of the moon- because the path system will be
obscured by the plants as their growth cycles open and close the circuits -
the FOA path system is an interior trellis and not an outside framework or a
plan.
It therefore models the highest formation of the extracted, refined, and
recombined materialism of modernity: to serve as the trellis which supports
the elaboration of the next materialism: The materialism of gardening
multiple contingent growth logics.
Also in this section: Avante gardening along analogy maps between nested
absolute scales of economy “….as the DNA is a non-living syntactical trellis - supporting the outward elaboration of the organ garden of the body…” and also The Bridge vs The
Trellis as meta-formations of modernity.
