Even China and the Middle East, Iran and Iraq contain these pervasive symbols. In the functionality of design- it is a logical construction of bearing the necessary weight of tension over the grid of modernity, and yet it has a powerful unspoken history, a greater power over sense and freedom of mind and our ability to describe what is real. So simple and true a relationship between the powers that be, as A=A, so does the electrical system continue classical architecture. We are all slaves in this E-State, unless we should decide otherwise. <...> _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list [email protected] http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
