POSTAMBLE on CONGERIES You used to have a record. A book. An image. Then it was gone. Maybe you lent it to someone. Or left it on a train. Or your ex grabbed it and you couldn't be bothered fighting about it. Some stuff is easy to replace. Some stuff isn't. Which makes it more appealing in a way. But when you finally get your hands on whatever it was, there is a moment of even greater emptiness. It might be just as good as you remembered it. But are you just as good as you used to be? Do you still have the knack of immersing yourself in music, words, imagery? It seems almost inevitable... if it's a record you listen hastily to a couple of tracks and then park it for a rainy day that never comes. If it's a book maybe you re-read it, or at least make a start. If it's an image you file it away in one of those places where you store thousands of other images. There has to be a way out of this. Maybe the first step is to understand that it is not about age, being too busy, time. It has to do with a shift of technology. The stuff we cherished existed in separate interfaces, separate machinery. Each piece of machinery could have an almost infinite range of qualities and personalities. It wasn't always the same interface. Vinyl was played on a turntable, tapes in a tape deck, radio on a radio. Pictures were seen in magazines, glossy prints, slide projections. The level of technical nuance was amazing. Every ritual of personal aesthetic experience had its own complications and overtones, requiring different levels of effort and expenditure to produce the desired results. This is not a diatribe against new technologies. The finger of blame is pointed only at me, at us. For being lazy. For letting "them" take the magic out of experience, flattening it out in a single shiny device. This is why I think maybe we need "congeries" or "clusters" or "accumulations" of stuff around the things we value. To materialize the sense of value. To remake reality, in a way. |
