In the popularisation of computer technologies and concepts within the realm of commercialization and market exploitation, a systematic destruction of creative space has taken place: where culture is homogenized to enable “free trade”, and where social and economic organizations congruent with the principles of life are transformed into a wasteful and profit-obsessed consumer society. Underlying this debilitating and disenfranchising environment is the loss of cognitive worldviews that might allow individuals and groups to develop and articulate their own creative spaces by relating personal views to wider cultural contexts and perspectives. While the cognitive/linguistic term “articulation” relates to the concept of movement in space, the concept of “perspective” is related to a more static view of space. Does immaterial articulation relate to material space? In their lecture, Fatima Lasay and Trevor Batten will explore alternative articulations of space that consider cognition and language as important spatial elements. Vital elements that have been lost in cyberspace.
