From Bucky -- A Process of Ongoing Innovation --
"...we witness
over and again
in the whole long mural
that ideas first coming
out of the blue
pass by stages to Industrialization
to sensorial objectivity;
after which the instrumental means
and the end-products themselves
employed or consumed
by unit man individually, --
all trend thereafter
again towards more with less, --
ephemeralize, --
mobilize, --
grow progressively and
increasingly exquisite in precision
and orderliness,
faster, -- less friction
more light
cosmic-to-abstract-to-objective-
to-abstract-to --
back to the blue?
-- R. Buckminster Fuller, Untitled Epic Poem on the History of Industrialization (1962)
...yeah, what he said.
