Off-screen, a psychiatrist can be heard
leading conversations which exhort
patients to let ego go & move to a
different dimension where Netflix is
part of the Persian Empire. Temper
outbursts become routine, the wee-
ping voices rise straight up, cry out
for attention since they lack the nec-

seems they always loved soul music.

Robert Rauschenburg took
a Willem de Kooning nude

William Seward Burroughs
who cut up text, & rearranged
it in a different order in order
to create new texts. Who, when
describing the technique in a Times
Literary Supplement piece, attri-
buted it to a Lady Sutton-Smith.
The presence of new actors in
modern asymmetric conflicts
calls for visual aids that can
significantly enhance under-
standing. It's important to
foster an environment in
which the skills & disposi-
tions associated with those
axiomatic rules of war can be
updated to allow complex in-
formation to be visually navi-
gated so that dynamic spaces
exist for interactive problem
solving.
