a lot of telecommunications behaviour is aimed at getting together

MOBILE DISTRIBUTION

(11)

“…it took only 48 hours for the museum to be destroyed, with at least 170,000 artifacts carried away by looters.”

That is roughly one artifact per minute.

An artifact is a message from antiquity; some of these messages were over 4000 years old. These messages are now:

Dispersed?
Scattered?
Mobilized?

Will the sum of information, as communications from the past, decrease with distance from the museum? A museum is a gathering place for both artifact and audience. Under one roof, we experience them en masse; an orchestra of ancient messages. We strain to hear the sum of their individual voices.

After their initial journey to the museum, having been harvested from their contextual origins, they are again scattered, stripped of their collective meaning. Among the reported losses were the stone birds of Nemrik, a site dating from 8,000 B.C. Where have they flown?

FILO

My first post my first blog – brings up a number of issues:
Format Formality Fortune
- what good fortune to be here
- a bit nonplussed by the informality
- the need to format,
the need for correct placement,
for design
overshadowed by the need to start

The FILO nature of blogs appeals to my sense of inversion. I feel like this paragraph, this second paragraph should appear above the paragraph currently just above this one. That was my first entry, the first step out the door, this should follow it. You, the reader, should be reading from the bottom up.

Like this (scroll all the way to the bottom and read up):

Acknowledging world events -three quotes from last night’s war coverage from Jon Lee Anderson of the New Yorker speaking by telephone from Baghdad to Charlie Rose:

“There’s no more ministry of information.”

“….we did find one bridge to cross….”

“The political geography is changing by the minute and we’re still trying to figure it out."
