Red
square



The Web is one flat page, the top of an infinite pile of infinitely thin flash cards, some of which can do tricks. It's everywhere at once, mutating faster than it can make sense. It is designed to be the opposite of Red Square.

Red Square is secular, International, Ideological, Obscene, a huge geometric place that can't move, a dizzying canyon between promise and practice.

Red Square combines the catholic world-standardization of printed text with the radical erasures of modernism (e.g., the final abandonment of any notion of proportion as balance). With luck, the Temple Mount will come to resemble Red Square in new ways.
