Robert ParkeHarrison: The Architect’s Brother


“They decide to meet up, but in an attempt to keep their interaction interesting, they make a pact to not speak to one another. As their romance develops, they only write, draw, email, text, have sex, instant message, and make videos for each other. No talking.”


“In life never do as others do…Either do nothing—just go to school—or do something nobody else does.”

George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff

“I believe there is simply ourselves, and where we are has a particularity which we’d better use because that’s about all we’ve got…there is no other culture. There is simply the literal essence and exactitude of your own. I mean, the streets you live on, or the clothes you wear, or the colour of you hair….Truth lies solely in what you do with it….

Put an end to nation, put an end to culture, put an end to divisions of all sorts.”

Charles Olson, July 20th, 1965, Berkeley (Causal Mythology, p.36)

Johanna Drucker in ‘Figuring the Word’ ( 1998, Granary ) p.55

The electronic word: Democracy, technology, and the arts, Richard Lanham (1993)


“Bell Labs scientist Thomas K. Landauer (pictured above) determined in 1984 that human beings can retain about 2 bits of memory per second. This holds under all experimental conditions whether the information is visual, verbal, musical, etc.”
