…so you browse, you surf, you find nothing. You go have a glass of tea. Then you come back. You browse, and surf. Then by chance you hook on to something and then it takes you somewhere. Then you see something different. From one individual from another place somewhere else in the world. You are amazed at the amount of man hours this thing you’ve discovered would have taken. Not just to construct the media in which you view the work, but the hours to construct the work. Or the planning, and study that goes into creating such a thing.
There is a high possibility that there are a lot of people that may already know of this one individual. But you don’t care. It still blows your mind.
Then you absorb what you need and drift off again, heading off on another journey through a maze of links and clicks learning about something you didn’t think existed. Once again, you have something to do. Something to critique. Something to share with someone else.
There lies the rhizomatic nature of the web. It is natural. Its not constructed, no one could have ever planned the internet.
This image is from Tom Sach’s website. I found it just clicking away. I found this model of Unite’. I love Le Corbusier. I used to loathe learning about him. I don’t know why. I just found other people more interesting. Now I love his work, and totally respect this fantastic reconstruction. It blows my mind.
