Form Finding - Continued

An interesting lecture, albeit rather philosophy-based and computer-oriented for the purpose of this post, on the genesis of form (morphogenesis), which relates to the 'Form Finding' post of 18 August and in practical terms to the things I've been working on over the spring and summer months.
With this in mind, most of interest in this lecture are what Delanda says about:
- how form comes about; relevant to art/artists more specifically, from 9.10 minutes on the time line;
- at 11.00 to 14.50, the artist being able recognize that materials have creative powers of their own and entering into partnership with the material;
- 54.52 and through to 57.00 and beyond, re. phylum and William Latham respectively, generating potential for form differentiation, which happens in my own 'form finding' process - which, unlike Latham, is definitely and very importantly not computer-generated - in that I consciously facilitate and nurture the potential for a form/movement to come about - places of possibilities - because a movement/gesture in sculpture initiates very early on in the body of that movement. 
- (also an interesting ecology-related comment at 1.00.00.)
