Still going on about repetition

The process of writing these blog entries is a bit like improvising at the piano. In the case of the latter, I very often play similar stuff – the same old chord progressions, melodic sequences and bass patterns. And here, rather than crafting a lengthy, linear argument, my focus is on the iterative exploration of particular themes, particular conceptual motifs – at present, the notion of media. I circle around the topic of media, I approach it from different angles. It gradually, if only through persistent attention, takes coherent shape, then may be summarily dropped, gradually fade away or make a series of unexpected returns.
