Aspen no. 5+6, item 3: Three Essays

In the modern era, one of the most active metaphors for the spiritual project is "art. " The activities of the painter, the musician, the poet, the dancer et al, once they were grouped together under that generic name (a relatively recent move), have proved to be a peculiarly adaptable site on which to stage the formal dramas besetting consciousness, each individual work of art being a more or less astute paradigm for regulating or reconciling these contradictions.

Of course, the site needs continual refurbishing. Whatever goal is set for art eventually proves restrictive, matched against the widest goals of consciousness. Therefore, art comes to be estimated as something to be overthrown.

For my first test, I used the following settings: I then uploaded my file to Vimeo and called it NC bike race 1. This 40-second video ended up being 186 MB, but it looked crisp and clear on Vimeo. For my second test, I used the following settings:
