Catagories
...‘animals are divided into: (a) belonging to the Emperor, (b) embalmed, (c) tame,From the Preface to Foucault's "The Order of Things."
(d) sucking pigs, (e) sirens, (f) fabulous, (g) stray dogs, (h) included in
the present classification, (i) frenzied, (j) innumerable, (k) drawn with a
very fine camelhair brush, (1) et cetera, (m) having just broken the water
pitcher, (n) that from a long way off look like flies’. In the wonderment
of this taxonomy, the thing we apprehend in one great leap, the thing
that, by means of the fable, is demonstrated as the exotic charm of another
system of thought, is the limitation of our own, the stark impossibility of
thinking that.

New Work
"Admiration and hatred both reign in the neighborhood regarding my “musent touch it.”"
During his Yosemite summer Adams had grown a mustache, which he here refers to as “my musent touch it.”

Rob Seward's Four Letter Words
Four Letter Words from Rob Seward on Vimeo.
Four Letter Words consists of four units, each capable of displaying all 26 letters of the alphabet with an arrangement of fluorescent lights.
The piece displays an algorithmically generated word sequence, derived from a word association database developed by the University of South Florida between 1976 and 1998. The algorithms take into account word meaning, rhyme, letter sequencing, and association.
The algorithm's tendency towards scatological or "dark" subject matter is influenced by a variety of language and perception studies, especially Elliot McGinnies' 1949 study "Emotionality and Perceptual Defense."
While the piece was conceived with idea of displaying algorithmically generated lists, it was designed with flexibility and expandability in mind. The individual units can be connected ad-infinitum, and are theoretically capable of displaying any length of text. While Four Letter Words deals with a specific range of content, the technology can be easily expanded for future textual experiments.

TGI FRIDAYS
In this article about the photographer William Eggleston, an editing error meant we said the back cover photo – taken by Eggleston – of Big Star’s album Radio City was taken at a drag party. It was in fact taken at a TGI Friday’s restaurant in Memphis.

Teleportation of Energy and Information
There is a growing sense that the properties of the universe are best described not by the laws that govern matter but by the laws that govern information. This appears to be true for the quantum world, is certainly true for special relativity, and is currently being explored for general relativity. Having a way to handle energy on the same footing may help to draw these diverse strands together.

U2's first video
Bono needs a microphone to dance behind. I listened to this today on the turntable with my 11 month old who immediately pulled out the maracas. I was 16 and a 38 year old father of two all at once.
