I am so impressed by the interview, and overwhelmed by what might be a subtle critique of certain sorts of epistemologies and accounts of facts.<BR/><BR/>I will try to reproduce this art work in my apartment or office, and will print out the interview. I do not know if I will succeed at actually converting the glass of water into an oak tree that looks exactly like a glass of water, but it seems worth a shot.P. M.

But i wonder if that's what the "artist" (I'm stingy with that word) was getting at. Read the 2nd to last exchange:<BR/><BR/>Q. Did the particular oak tree exist somewhere else before it took the form of a glass of water?<BR/><BR/>A. No. This particular oak tree did not exist previously. I should also point out that it does not and will not ever have any other form than that of a glass of water. <BR/><BR/>Definitely not transubstantiation, in which the host becomes the actual flesh of Jesus (albeit while bearing the accidents of the bread).nabetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237056102835462456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19751121.post-1151804241320602122006-07-01T21:37:00.000-04:002006-07-01T21:37:00.000-04:00Nice play on transubstantiation, Some defender of ...Nice play on transubstantiation, Some defender of consubtantiation no doubt . . . :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19751121.post-1148609185712609722006-05-25T22:06:00.000-04:002006-05-25T22:06:00.000-04:00Thanks!
