Detaching from Material


I just read an article on PBS about our addition to paper. In one part of the article there is a description of the feeling of permanency a book has. it leads me to think about the role of materials in our everyday communication. We are accepting more and more virtual information which are not materialized. We write and draw things in computer and have store them into a form of numeral script. It can only be retrieved through electricity. It's scary.

So beware that the texts on this post you're reading does not physically exist.
