Medium: Text & Ideas, Photography, Randomized Computer Code
Review: «Immediately after these two is possibly the strongest essay of the book: Nadia Gisler and Adrian Müller’s «Being Invisible». Gisler and Müller engage in a brilliant discussion of nonlinear design and potentiality, punctuated with bizarre HTML-like sentences and self-parodying footnotes. In the abstract we get a description of crickets chirping in the background (while we’re reading?) followed by a short note on the deﬁnition of a cricket. It’s truly an engaging article from start to ﬁnish.»
