hi guys. regarding lee's theory of territorialised. sad to say it sort of happen in our uni. i am not saying it wrong, that a nature of human. i've read few research on why individuals create this 'circle of trust'. Individuals often join a group to meet their interpersonal needs. William Schutz2 has identified three such needs: inclusion, control, and affection.
a)Inclusion is the need to establish identity with others.
b)Control is the need to exercise leadership and prove one's abilities. Groups provide outlets for this need. Some individuals
do
c)not want to be a leader. For them, groups provide the necessary control over aspects of their lives.
d)Affection is the need to develop relationships with people. Groups are an excellent way to make friends and establish
relationships.
as a conclusion to what i've read,
Group Synergy
Group synergy refers to the idea that two heads (or more) are better than one.
You may have also heard the phrase, "The whole is greater than the sum of its
parts," which also refers to group synergy. Put simply, groups are often capable of
producing higher quality work and better decisions that can an individual working
alone.
Support and Commitment
A group may be more willing to take on a large project than would an individual. In
addition to its increased ability to perform work, the group can provide
encouragement and support to its members while working on a big project.
Interpersonal Needs
Individuals often join a group to meet their interpersonal needs. William Schutz has
identified three such needs: inclusion, control, and affection.
* Inclusion is the need to establish identity with others.
* Control is the need to exercise leadership and prove one's abilities. Groups
provide outlets for this need. Some individuals do not want to be a leader.
For them, groups provide the necessary control over aspects of their lives.
* Affection is the need to develop relationships with people. Groups are an
excellent way to make friends and establish relationships.

Techno-Culture
Hey Charlie,
Your video raises some interesting points and yes agree we should meet as a group to see where we could take it next...
For me it highlights the fact, as you say travelling without moving... we've never been so mobile but makes us become static, how we can tresspass on somebody's territory, virtually; the example comes to mind, is how teenagers now have mobile phones. When i was young if someone wanted me, they would physically have to cross the boundary at the edge of the street, open a gate perhaps and walk a path to knock the door, 9 times out of 10 answered by my parents....
This cultural aspect of our built environment is changing? as a direct result of mobile communication technologies?
I guess the question is how and how fast? How are we changing to keep up? can we?
anyway i have some films we could watch as a group?

Territories
This is an extract from my note book, i've been reading Capitalism and schizophrenia, it sounds stupid but it is life changing stuff. i'm not sleeping.
Territorialisation
The above picture is by Agnes Martin, who described her paintings as being beyond form and void, i got slightly obsessed by them in first year. I think attracted me to them was VOID though, they made me feel somewhat protected by their regularity and repetition (Habit, Habitat). Like i was getting at with territories, territorialised in the chaos of the world, but it gets to a point where this becomes limiting abit like the images superstudio used to produce: THIS IS A VOID
The structure of language (anyone interested i have some links), culture, society, religion and the physical city controls the amount possibilities and type of (statistically i guess is a good way of putting it)of self identity we offer ourselves and to the rest of the world... physical movement... (i remember our first project in the first year and see much more relevence to it now, what clothes we wear, the watch, the shoes, the colours, the music the tv programs; they all props to help fictionalise ourselves) things are not interelated but categorised, easily quantified/ falsified and graded according to the orders needs. its an implicit relationship with a man made machine (there is no alternative...).
De-territorialisation
The above picture is by Brice Marden and as with the other pictures i am using it as a tool to explain my point.
Interrelating territories (Chaos); physical space (parkour, flash mobs, journey as destination) and conceptual space (death of god, virtual realms, mobile communication). Ungrammatical Language (something William Burroughs used to harp on about intend to BLOG on that later), maybe if technology could become conscious we could approach this type of structure... i know it is romantic to think about communicating with plants... but actually why not? this is what this type of structure alludes to? would man made conscious machines only achive human consciousness? (that would be abit pointless?)
