Hello Everyone my name is Brent and its good to be a part of Art and Technology. I was originally placed in Art of Poetry and Film/Lit, and I am very glad I came across this class by chance. I think our teacher is quite a charm. The content of the class is what I have been researching all through Wentworth and it just so happens to be covered in a 2 hour period. How ironic.
Although I am not really sure what I am supossed to be talking about, I will share some thoughts on the story we analyzed by Hawthorne on Tues. The man in the story reminded me in great depth of myself. I have been obssesed with perfection for a long time now. Iv'e only recently realized that perfection can never be attained because if you could attain it, you would be the creator. Recent disputes with my ex-girlfriend over the topic were disastrous. The man killed his wife in the same way I killed our relationship.. trying to perfect her lifestyle to become perfectly compatible with his own instead of cherishing her greatest attributes. Having an engineering mind, I would like to incorporate the theory of entropy which says that disorder is among us, its unstoppable, and will continue to make our lives hell. However, if you feel as if this disorder is taking control, it already has. To live with it, and still be happy because all things are beautiful, is the greatest challenge of humanity.
