| The Paleolithic caves of Southern
Europe were the first temples art galleries, and classrooms (kindergarten through a
doctorate in Shamanism). Here we find gestures of our animal past, gestation of mind, the
swaddling of human cultural maturity. A few years ago, my study of these caves, and their cognate, rock art, intensified into Threading the Petrified Glyph, an artist's book that evolved into an electronic version; after which my fascination with the subject didn't abate. Visions of Lascaux opens with a poem linked to a fragment from my net.lit/neuroscience project, Inside the Skull-House:
I'd like to thank Jennifer Ley for her generous invitation to present this work on her Digital Lascaux site. Joel Weishaus |
