They are able to "read" their forests as a complex and ever-unfolding document. However the modern city dweller tends to follow his predetermined paths, travelling through the urban space without ever stopping to question and understand the history and meaning engrained into the habitat to which he belongs.
The following quote by Alan Moore describes the beauty and importance of local knowledge. I decided to place a narrative in the street; a narrative that could be read by a series of interconnected frames, placed in public space. The following text is divided into two main chapters. Rules for a Dérive 1. Shake and serve TRN 041702. Shaking is a good way to break things, especially electronic devices that contain many components. A team of researchers at Harvard University has found that shaking can also have the reverse effect. The researchers have developed an assembly process that boils down to making a cocktail -- shaken, not stirred -- of electronic components and copper wires in a vial of hot water.
The technique is one of a growing number of self-assembly processes that could dramatically lower manufacturing costs for electronic devices ranging from sensors to computers. The Harvard team demonstrated their patterned self-assembly process by making a cylindrical display about 4 millimeters in diameter that contained 113 light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The shape of the display proves the process is not restricted to flat surfaces, which is a limitation of current manufacturing techniques, said Heiko O. They finished the display by hand positioning another plastic sheet with copper squares on top of the LEDs. Rechenzentrum. Crusades.
