Compression: Peter Tieryas Liu
“Hammering cities out of nails, rarefaction in inverse is the building of skyscrapers in limited spaces. Cities by nature compress cultures, languages, and beliefs, creating stratified semblances of order. Sometimes forced order results in a sublime chaos and a story that is locked together by vapors. Compression amazes by how much it can eke out of seemingly limited space. Just look out the window, or type away on the same screen page after page after page, close it, save into a tiny file.” — Peter Tieryas Liu
