we can offer a better aesthetic combination of technology and ancient and artistic
truths. Perhaps. Technology
now begins to approximate
the flesh and bone, here
commemorated in impenetrable cold marble. It remains,
through biotechnology, for
not too-distant generations
to, in God���s grace, sculpt living statues. Then there will be
little or no contrast between
the remnants of technology
and these new statues and,
indeed, ourselves.
The contrast, here so visually
evident, will be a faint memory, recorded in the heirs of
today���s information clouds.
For now, I am entranced by
what I have seen: my world,
my experiences are closer to
those of Jules Verne.
I still remember horse-drawn
wagons in Boston���s Scully
Square but I am much younger than these statues. H
