Q. Is it possible to deal with the entire environment as a work of art?
   

A. Marshall McLuhan says: 
"Electronic Man approaches the condition in which it is possible to deal with the entire environment as a work of art."
"This presents no solution to the previous problem of decorating the environment."
"Quite the contrary."
"The new possibility demands total understanding of the artistic function in society."
"It will no longer be possible merely to add art to the environment."

The first "thing" LODE will show YOU is equal in value to every other "thing" LODE might show YOU! It is the next "thing" LODE will show YOU that reveals to YOU who I am, and, more importantly, where LODE is coming from, and where it is going!
