Craig
Kalpakjian's images of fictitious
spaces are details from a city that
considers itself beyond the body.
A city constructed without reference
to the flesh. A city of disembodied
inhabitants in which communities have
no inherent relationship to geography.
A city of splinters and slivers.
A
good article stressing Information
Science in the discipline of Information
Architecture (which gets awfully hung
up on cognitive science and usability).

Someone
was pushed in front of the downtown
6 train at 42nd Street this morning.
It's not in the news yet. We all heard
the screeching brakes and saw the
train run past the spot where the
person fell. Everyone got out of the
express train and walked across the
platform to look over the edge. I
stayed behind. Someone was screaming
for the police but the PA system was
silent. At 14th Street I got out off
the express train and left the station.
A lot of people were standing on the
platform grumbling and waiting for
the 6 train.
Orlan
and the Limits of Materialization...Her
work may be a critique, but it reads
like a symptom.
Nobody
used color like Barragan.
An
educational article on folding chairs.
Where am I going with this?
When
I suggested we might start brushing
up urban history and planning theory,
he tweaked my nose and said he thought
this was more of a mystery, comic,
thriller project. I retired to My
Place.
