discipline and restraint

i find myself at a cozy post-lecture dinner with Stuart McKee (the outgoing chair of design at CCA), Brenda Laurel (the incoming chair of Design at CCA), and our visiting guests: science fiction writer and futurist Bruce Sterling and his delightful wife the Serbian author and film-maker Jasmina Tesanovic. next to Bruce is his friend Rudy Rucker, who it turns out is is one of the founders of the cyberpunk literary movement. Rudy tells me he is a computer scientist and science fiction author.

in passing conversation about my work, Brenda remarks she sees the need for discipline and restraint. we all laugh and i tell her definitely come by studio 54 for a chat.

the thought has crossed my mind.
bridles, bits, leather.
a contained system.
ie: CROSSWALK.
works for me.
my model.
a process.
