These pages of Benjamin Patterson’s notes on art were recorded during the 1960s. His reflections, though often fragmentary, are deeply philosophical and speculative, ranging on topics from communication and social cybernetics, to process philosophy, musical form, freedom vs. determinacy, internal vs. external, time and temporality, politics, the role of the artist in society, and ideas about audience reception. The full notebook also includes sketches of event scores, poetic experiments, drawings, and addresses.
