The past no longer exists.
The future of the web relies upon: 1. The quickest route to finding the content that interests you… 2. Finding better ways (and more of them) to use the Internet to make money, either by utilizing content, or by providing it. Remember…you decide; you draw your own conclusions… The only punishable question is the one […]
Magazine/Magasin.
A walk-in or walk-thru magazine…a living periodical. Every month, the gallery changes. It is advertised, at newsstands, on television, and in other periodicals, with a repro cover image and masthead, but exists only in person…Readers may subscribe to it, and receive a discount…It is closed two days at month’s ending for set-up and reinstallation. Meanwhile, […]
Textworks.
How can the word “dynamic” apply to meaning?

Rule 5. Revisit the backstory (and do it often).
