From mounds to holes: how?
At first, I thought they were opposites, but the relationship is more complicated than that.


A mound is something that fills negative space in a particular, chaotic way. "Negative," though, does not mean negation or abyss or absence in a dualist, 0|1 way. The hole that any mound fills is productive material, is the potential for something to emerge.


Making mounds and even looking out for them is a practical exercise in experiencing the Hole World.


I'm interested in making theories more practical, and am always trying to get a better idea of why things pile up the ways in which they do.


What's a theory you're trying to prove?


What's a hole you've been trying to fill?


I'm continuing to try to bring "mound" into the real world, and hoping you're down to participate and receive something in return.


Write a blog piece in response to one of the above questions & you'll receive the next artifact from this project in the mail. More details in DMs.


Below are some reference texts & links to writing that people submitted for part 1 (thank you).
