I should not be reading posts and commenting without taking a step back to get the big picture. <br /><br />Twelve days before, five minutes later. I just read the quotation from DeLanda's book... And felt ridiculous. Sorry about that.<br /><br />...But the book as designed by Bruce Mau and Co. is a work of art in itself, too, isn't it?<br /><br />(the stone project still sounds very stimulating, I'll follow, discretely!)mon rodriguez-amathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502396435325358778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-18722228664547012592009-08-17T11:00:38.091-04:002009-08-17T11:00:38.091-04:00Just a brief little egoboo post here, Jeffrey: I&#...Just a brief little egoboo post here, Jeffrey: I'm loving this stone project.<br /><br />Awesome verification word for a nerd like me: "orkers".Rob Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17791752557408134270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-42578472011174768412009-08-17T10:35:42.649-04:002009-08-17T10:35:42.649-04:00Lest De Landa's project here be misunderstood,...Lest De Landa's project here be misunderstood, it's worth noting that he doesn't make the comparison an equivalence: "We must avoid the error of comparing cities to organisms, especially when the metaphor is meant to imply (as it has in the past) that both exist in a state of internal equilibrium, or homeostasis.
