The Industrial Meaning If the natural is by definition analogic, the industrial is digital, determined by parameterization, standardization, tolerance, specificity, equivalence. If the natural is characterized by releasement, the industrial follows by the relation of curtailment, from cannister to home-owner's association. The natural effloresces; the miniaturization of the digital tends toward its other, just as the quantum theory tends towards the digital. http://www.asondheim.org/categoryoftheindustrial.mov As with http://www.asondheim.org/categoryofthenatural.mov , choice had to be made out of a basic corpus of 1800 pictures. What constitutes the industrial? There is always the industrialization of the body. 'artificial' nature in the form of aquariums or zoos, traditional 19th- century factory architecture, the mechanical or electrical. This video is shorter than the natural, reflecting my interest, nothing more.
