"We long for something deeper, richer, more surprising. Not “I see what you did there” surprising. Surprising in a way that transforms us from who we are to who we long to be.

The answer is not a new tool or technology. The answer is a new spirit. The world does not need more media, it needs New Media. But New Media does not exist. New Media must be built."

i think to some degree the new is difficult to understand until it clicks and then it's not (difficult or new.) that's kind of how new territory is uncovered. but i don't think it has to be ad hoc. u can discover new things through everyday practices

Does new media have to be ad hoc and esoteric by definition?

Yancey's work is so good. Loving metalabel
