It is the emotional zing alchemized and embodied in our storytellings that gives meaning to feelings of identity, kinship & place, not the medium itself – M. McLuhan notwithstanding. Although certainly, in generative works the form matches, encourages the message.
Hand in glove.
It is not the object-book that fulfilled a reader, but the experience of encounter found in the expression within. So it is with the Cyber.
Marks on a paper, once a commonplace. Imagine.
As the Cyber, a tool, advances to fill every nook and cranny of our lives, any source of sustainable meaning that manages to escape The Sell’s methane burn-off becomes more precious.
It's a possible, learning to recognize & encourage this precious.
This is not to be confused with being an Outsider, another voided & vacant commercial chimera in service to The Sell; a do-or dare capitalization on our ancient, tribal fear of being cast out.
As if. It’s all about keeping us at/inside those screenframes.
