Across the communications landscape move the specters of sinister technologies and the dreams that money can buy.

Over our lives preside the great twin leitmotifs of the 20th century-sex and paranoia.

  • The rhythm of walking generates a kind of rhythm of thinking, and the passage through a landscape echoes or stimulates the passage through a series of thoughts. The creates an odd consonance between internal and external passage, one that suggests that the mind is also a landscape of sorts and that walking is one way to traverse it.

    Rebecca Solnit (2001). “Wanderlust: A History of Walking”, p.11, Penguin
