Is there a poetry in architecture?

It smacks of f B.F. Skinner and behaviorism. For the natural application is manipulation of human emotions and behavior. If this underlying language does exist (as we both believe), it may never produce great music or poetry, but it has scary implications for mass control. Are people these days usually entertained by great music or films on high end systems? No, they watch The Godfather on something the size of a matchbox.

People can be induced to leave quality behind for their own convenience. Computer art, music and poetry of the future may not be quite as good as what humans do, but it may be free of charge!

The biggest thing to fear from this is not that humans may be finite without free will and their arts may lose quality, but what such a language refined would be capable of in the hands of the black ops folk.

Dear desiresjab,

Further to my previous comment, I find it necessary to distinguish between poetry and the science of poetry

This is a representation of two lines of Arabic poetry.
each line is composed of repetitions of 2 3 2 = 2 12 2

khashan... some intriguing thoughts. I would have liked to have responded earlier, but unfortunately, I lost my password on upgrading to a new computer and have been trying to have my password reset for quite some time now.

I have read before of the notion of the "music or architecture"... so why not the poetry? As a visual artist myself and a bibliophile I have long embraced the links or commonalities between different art forms.

Welcome back, stiukesguild! Missed your posts on art.

Hey Stlukes, hows going?

I'm as fine as can be expected after this last year. How are you, JC?

Getting old and trying to decide if the current political affairs in Brasil are a product of senility or just some 1984 fanfic :D

We aren't doing a whole lot better here. Toss COVID into this mess and trying to teach online... and you get a good deal of stress. On top of this, one of my studio partners went nuts... Parkinson's dementia... and I ended up having to abandon my studio of 15 years. Now I'm painting in a small bedroom in my home. :(
