Chicken or the egg, which one came first?
Does the container give birth to the content?
Can water give shape to a vase?
If you put water into a vase it becomes the vase .
Water is in-formed by the vase.
“Did Charles de Gaulle buy a particularly beautiful pot and then try to pour France carefully into it? Or did he shape a pot himself and then hold it under the French fountain so as to catch France?”
Shape of Things: A Philosophy of Design, Vilem Flusser, Reaktion Books, Limited, 1999, p. 100
What if the vase becomes water? Imagine a vase not designed to be filled but filled to be designed.
A hen is only an egg’s way of making another egg.
Content is only a container’s way of making containers.
Water, flowers, wine and so on, would be only a vase’s way of making vases.
This vase-to-be would cope with the fear of emptiness, non stop crying “I need content!” Fill the vase, please. Keys, coins, flower, water or remote control, it is up to you.
