Admin History: The recording is of the 2nd lecture in the series entitled 'Spatial Effects', given by Mark Cousins as part of the AA General Studies programme, 2003-2004. This lecture looks into the concepts of size and scale. Within this context, Mark Cousins examines the ontological impossibility to define the difference between the real object and the model. On a higher level of abstraction, the topic is approached through the distinction of the Kantian space and the Aristotelian space.

Custodial History: Audio cassette recording was made by the AA Audio Visual Departement and retained by the AA Photo Library until 2019, when it was transferred to the AA Archives.

Aquisition: Audio cassette was transferred from the AA Photo Libary to the AA Archives in 2019. Digital preservation and access copies were created by the AA Archives in 2021.
