Beautiful and thought provoking, for me, the text of Max Herman about the Finsbury Park project!
Great food for thoughts for my latest personal work, which include making wearable and artist books with upcycled obsolete electronic devices http://suzonfuks.net/be-like-body-obsolete-4 - ...particularly about wearables and sustainability, the transformation of culture and the places of culture from static to moveable.... Very inspired by this paragraph: *look forward to the best and most necessary capabilities of technology and culture. Our relationships to place, space and time, will be in many ways mediated and manifested by our technological "garments" which both provide us physical protection from the elements and help us to acquire and communicate our knowledge, ideas, and values. Networks of every sort are indeed the habitation and habit in which we live our lives. * Thank you for sharing Ruth and Max for your writing! cheers Suzon Max Herman via NetBehaviour < netbehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org> wrote: > > Hi Ruth, > > This looks marvelously done and I look forward to viewing the projects! > > For some reason, looking at the overview link I got the sense that > humanity is still in the early stages of integrating technology with a > sustainable planet.
