on plastic

"More than a substance, plastic is the very idea of its infinite transformation; as its everyday name indicates, it is ubiquity made visible. 

And it is this, in fact, which makes it a miraculous substance: a miracle is always a sudden transformation of nature. 

Plastic remains impregnated throughout with this wonder: it is less a thing than the trace of movement."

Roland Barthes, Plastic, Mythologies, 1957.

Collective Autism

"..When it comes to innovation, we are looking down the wrong end of the telescope: away from people, toward technology. Industry suffers from a kind of autism. Autism, as you may know, is a psychological disorder that is characterised by detachment from other human beings."

Thakara, 2001
