“I remember the first novel in English I read through was a Scottish novel called THE HOUSE WITH THE GREEN SHUTTERS. […] When I read that, I wanted to be Scotch.”
—Jorge Luis Borges, interviewed by The Paris Review in July 1966

“The map is not the territory.” ~ Alfred Korzybski
“As LiDAR becomes rapidly refreshed, globally available, and directly ingested by machines, the question is no longer what we can measure.
It’s whether humans retain the ability to understand, intervene in, and redirect how those measurements are used over time.
This article focuses on spatial sovereignty, not as a policy position, but as a design discipline, and on why alignment with established standards is becoming a prerequisite for effective scale…”

Ended Wednesday and welcomed Thursday after my swim with Minimal Harp by Floraleda Sacchi, released on Decca in 2008.
“The “Minimal Harp” project developed together with my (artistic and personal) investigation of essential ways of communication. The transmission of concepts and feelings in a clear, concise way seemed to me a privileged path towards understanding of the universe and the exploration of truth.
What has guided me in this project, therefore, is not only (or necessarily) music defined as “minimalist”. The elimination of all that is unnecessary is a predisposition of mind, a legacy of Zen, a necessary requirement in the study of an effective instrumental technique.
They say Ulysses, wearied of wonders,
wept with love on seeing Ithaca,
humble and green. Art is that Ithaca,
a green eternity, not wonders.
(Jorge Luis Borges, “The Art of Poetry”, in Personal Anthology)

Gonçalo Borges begint om 14.30 uur met Feyenoord aan het thuisduel met FC Twente. Hij krijgt de voorkeur boven Aymen Sliti, die woensdag niet kon overtuigen in het verloren bekerduel met SC Heerenveen. Jan Plug vervangt linksback Jordan Bos, die niet bij de selectie zit.

The rose reappeared — at what cost!
Esa nube de una tarde
en su palabra resplandece y arde
y la seguimos viendo todavía.
¿Qué son las nubes? ¿Una arquitectura
del azar? #Borges
Questo è il labirinto di Creta il cui centro fu il Minotauro che Dante immaginò come un toro con testa di uomo e nella cui rete di pietra si persero tante generazioni come Maria Kodama ed io ci perdemmo. Questo è il labirinto di Creta il cui centro fu il Minotauro che Dante immaginò come un toro con testa di uomo e nella cui rete di pietra si persero tante generazioni come Maria Kodama ed io ci perdemmo quel mattino e seguitiamo a perderci nel tempo, quest’altro labirinto.
Hey #bookstodon, can anyone recommend a good English translation of “Ficciones” by #Borges?

(1/3) A man invents an affair, but forgets to invent a way out. Our new picture #shortstory by William Dupris is a compelling visual piece originally inspired by a mixture between Jorge Luis #Borges's "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" and #Matthew 5:28: "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
