Hello, is anybody listening? Has the computer become the new Delphic Oracle? Is academia in the clutches of a computational fundamentalism that has totally destroyed the simple pleasure of joining the dots between unlike things? Who will take care of the realm beyond measurement? And where are the Masonic Orders when you need them most? Is there any room left between the design/build Luddites and evil hackers residing in the new Telestrion? Ben Nicholson studied at the AA, Cooper Union and Cranbrook and has taught design and theory at IIT Chicago for 15 years. He is currently working on Horror Vacui, a book about the intersections of geometry, meandering, numerology and theology.
