„Das Lebendige verbirgt sich gerne“ Heraklit - The 7 Elements of Vividness
summary
Claim: vividness is an ecological, hard-to-measure quality that must be embedded in technology rather than replaced by it. Demonstrations include asking Google and generating images with Stable Diffusion to compare "vividness" imagery, citing John Cage’s organ piece played one note per year until 2600, and urban data projecting ~70% city living within 30 years. Biological examples (a species living 512 years, a predator eating once per quarter year) underpin the argument. Proposal: design three "bow houses" — architecture, nature, subjectivity — and pivot to nature-based, resource-aware tech.
