If you are not amazed by ‘ordinary things’, you do not understand them; there’re all extraordinary
‘If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear’
This is my sparse, mostly white and black, website, which contains information about things I am doing, have done and am interested in. This is largely post-COVID. I also have a legacy website, which is all pre-COVID - where you’ll find details of a large number of projects between 2002 and 2020, films, exhibitions, museums, a science centre masterplans, etc., made when I ran my consultancy business, Stephen Feber Ltd. The whole scope of things can be reviewed by clicking on the C.V. link below.
The quotation ‘If liberty means anything at all….’ is from an unused preface to Animal Farm and appears beside the statue of the great Eric Blair (George Orwell) on the wall of the BBC building, Portland Place, London. The statue, by Martin Jennings, was unveiled in 2017. Eric is enjoying a cigarette, which he very probably rolled himself.
Raymond Cattell distinguished crystallised intelligence — what we have learned — from fluid intelligence — how we think when the path is unclear ('Theory of fluid and crystallised intelligence: A critical experiment,' Journal of Educational Psychology, 54(1), 1963). This website lives in both: some of what you find here is settled, tested, carried forward; some is still forming. The distinction is not between two kinds of intelligence but between two states of the same recursive process — one that has stabilised enough to hold, and one still open to revision.
