studies on inflection, the sopranos.
although shamelessly copied from ted's blog, this is totally worth posting again.
Boundaries become horizons; horizons shift into boundaries.
In desolate natural landscapes the horizon is a shifting limit of perception that bounds the momentary space of occupation. It generates enclosure by defining the edge, yet the sense of orientation it imparts is scaleless.
The immeasurability of urban landscape is due not to its physical immensity, but rather its boundlessness. It has no perceived, articulated limit; therefore its boundaries, its indices of location and orientation are internally defined. The city choreographs its interstitial spaces between old and new, public and private, natural and social landscapes; the city’s horizon lies in the confrontation of these entities elucidated by the actions of its inhabitants.
