On one side: constant iteration, improvement.

The erosion of the unexpected.

The installation of airbags against the impact of the innovative.

Remove it.

Test it.

Release it.

Don't surprise me.

Don't surprise anyone.

Don't make me think.

On the other side: disruption, discontinuity, complexity and contradiction.

Specialise.

Sign-up for your silo.

The sides of it are all you know, because it's about all you can know. The thing is too big, and you are too little to see it all. Those who try to see it all are fooled by the foreshortening, the perilous perspective of the '30, 000ft view', and as such the revealing rapture that rigor brings. The knowing and the naming all the devils in the detail is lost to them.

Like aerobatic pilots, these things cross each other
in formation
on the flightpath to our future.

Letting go of knowing, apart from knowing when something is just about good enough.

Fix,

patch,

jury-rig,

plug,

stitch,

bang

and barter.

It's the end of the era of making, and the beginning of the era of 'making-do'

Welcome to our new universe.

The used universe.
