Groover on Technique

JAN GROOVER: Technical prowess? I–I know as much as I need to know and no more. 

I’m interested in seeing the thing. 

I could tell you how a view camera works. I could probably explain it to you, but I only know that from experience. I knew nothing about it before I bought one. I had some wild concept that you could change space, which you can. But once I bought the–once I bought the view camera, everything else was just eyeballing it. 

If the thing doesn’t look the way I want it to look, I’ll try something else.

Genius – and the group

[from overnight note: Oct 2016]

The time and form , shape of exchange, feedback , interaction, response

 After something has taken enough shape for the proper others to respond, then it can become a group effort. Some people are better left as initiators others as improver, most merely imitators, mimics

They must be able to see the machine, then improve it, in an appropriate understandable exchange form/format formulation
