I am convinced that all media is propoganda and conditioning in degrees... down to the very choices of cars, architecture, and curves. In my mind though, no creation is quite so subtle and insidious in it's purpose as the business suit.

I think that a people make art based on three things: Their collective experience, their environment, and their features.

In Paris, blues sing like no place I have ever been in America. Wearing blue feels like you are aligning with the Place. This is intentional. The pale sandy color of the walls, height of the buildings, the blue roof tops, the way the sky reflects off the windows. Crafted.

I think very often about why Japan feels so distinct in it's design and architecture. Tokyo feels far more advanced than western cities and yet still distinctly Japanese. Their own alignment, though individually varied, is clear and widely digested worldwide.

Makes you want to be Japanese.

I wonder at times about the depth of this statement.

If a place can crafted (like a canvas) to subconsciously make you feel more "correct" when you wear a specific color...

Can't the same be done for faces and features?

If a collection of systems can be designed to optimize harmony and resonance for one subject in focus... wouldn't it feel "off" when a "different" subject is placed in the same ecosystem?

There is only one single thing I know and that is that Harmony runs infinitely deep. Like a kaleidoscope, it compounds. You need only look at tribal aesthetics to see this plainly.

Now I ask: Who designed the buildings and the cities we live in?

Who designed the infrastructure in the widespread colonies of the world?

What purpose was subconsciously (and consciously) instilled in the design?

Further, what is the higher level goal of China's infrastructure projects throughout Africa?

Not that I oppose the projects completely, I want prosperity for Africa and Africans. But after visiting family in Cape Verde, I left with a deep unease. What is actually being adopted?
