"an intent to communicate."Here:
"She looked down a slope, needing to squint for the sunlight, onto a vast sprawl of houses which had grown up all together, like a well-tended crop, from the dull brown earth; and she thought of the time she'd opened a transistor radio to replace a battery and seen her first printed circuit. The ordered swirl of houses and streets, from this high angle, sprang at her now with the same unexpected, astonishing clarity as the circuit card had. Though she knew even less about radios than about Southern Californians, there were to both outward patterns a hieroglyphic sense of concealed meaning, of an intent to communicate. There'd seemed no limit to what the printed circuit could have told her (if she had tried to find out); so in her first minute of San Narciso, a revelation also trembled just past the threshold of her understanding." Excerpt from Thomas Pynchon’s 1966 novel, The Crying of Lot 49 Okay, it's like...it's like this. Ben Rubin. I don't know who he is, because I'm stupid, but I guess he's an artist dude that came up with this semaphore message for the new Adobe building in downtown San Jose. The links on his page are pretty fascinating. There is stuff of codes and such. This is kind of weird, too; San Jose once had a giant electric light tower downtown. But do you know what? There is a link to the Conet Project. Have you ever listened to that thing? That is Erie, Pennsylvania, in a big way. It's a spook out deal. Add Comment |
