Thank you for writing this piece. Do you know Marshall McLuhan's "The Medium is the Message"? In that book he said, that not the content is only important in Media (like what a movie is about or what the newspaper is saying) but more so how they communicate, which shape they use to be visible in and how that looks like when we receive information. I am also currently writing about the theory & practice conundrum, like it is s easy for us to understand, accumulate knowledge and just collect information in our heads, but to transfer them into action, build an everyday-practice seems nearly impossible in this system we are currently living in.

I love this: "form to follow freedom" – because it implies, that the way we understand form is restrictive or limiting. But what if form is born out of freedom, how would it influence our lives? Day you know Fred Moten? I feel like you would love his way of thinking. He wrote a book with Stefano Harvey called "The undercommons" and it follows the same line of thinking.

I could go on writing about everything that comes to mind, I have to stop. Thank you so much again and I feel so inspired!!!!!
