   !netmusucsb reading "Network Fever" by Mark Wigley. Interesting to hear about the pre-history of network discourse and to find out that people were talking about networks long before the internet took off. However, I found it hard at times to follow the thread of the article. Maybe it's because I'm not in the world of architecture at all but I just felt like it was taking too many detours at times. Still, neat to see the array of visions for the future. The message of the article often seemed to be "Young architects these days think they're so original thinking in terms of networks, but that's all been done", which, I guess would be more meaningful to me if I was a student of architecture. I do, however, see a parallel in music, where there are too many new music concerts filled with sounds echoed from 50-60 years ago from composers paradoxically trying to be pioneers by copying the pioneers.

     i think it provokes one to look for 'network thinking' in music - i'm not just thinking about distribution - and if none, why are we lagging?
