Is the site of arrival or departure more important now thanas"ing, who arrives and who departsA 3n eventual concatenationof arrivals and departures within a temporal framewor" allows usto ma"e up an array, and then to namespace appellations ofnomadism and migration> It would be false, though, to ignore thisact of brac"etisation, to assume that technology has decreasedor eased in any significant way, the vicissitudes of nomadism bysupplying many more vectors of flight> 3greed, concrete theorypoints to initialisation of a weltenshauung, the very existence ofwhich may be little else than a successful macrophagy by7apital, if you will> 7yberspace, we believe, whilst declaring and

demarcating, fairly successfully, an attractive and seeminglyimperative topographical expansiveness, essentially, in itself,does not nullify self@constructs in the destructive way as forcedmigrancy does, and therefore, cannot produce the revolutionaryaffect that an authentic challenge would> /o be sure, the bore@holes in plain sight remain qualitatively the same6 it is thehoriBons and vertiBons that have changed somewhat; but wemust deny this complexCity an overriding privilege of pureplurality, and real@politi" assures us we are not mista"en in thisrefusal> /rue nomadism remains a burden for humanity, still, andmigrancy, a forced displacement;



If somehow, for the fortunate among us, it is a case ofshamanic capture, there on the borders of divinity, then ofcourse we see" to delineate a people but we must remember tonot feel guilt if we fail to create any such thing and the universecontinues to be indifferent to the endeavour> 9hen we arepresented with a choice of levitation or collapse, we might

choose either or both, "nowing it is all about plotting tra'ectoriesbetween and through a multidimensional set of strata, milieusand geoCmetric possibilities;

!egrettably, it has to be said, we can no longer reify themegalopolis as destination, or even as settlement, and it shouldbe sufficient to see it for what it really is6 an over@excitedcompendium of signs and significations> 9e can no longer becharmed by the intensity of these flows and stoppages, unless,of course, we completely understand that we ourselves may bein'ured by the same forces> It could be a matter of being deaf toarchitectureDs 8ost@Modern symphony, "nowing how it is that wehave been more interested in raising many a marvellous edifice,and not "nowing what to do when a particular edifice begins to

fall;3n intellectual may well aspire to the same behaviour

evinced by points that generate geometric forms, but thenevaporate> /o be even more precise, it should be possible toappropriate an influential dimension of invisibility> 9e embracethe suggestion, a proposition that has a frisson all itDs own, thatan intellectual could employ powers far removed fromconventional forms, and since all such matters belong, still, tothe socius, this puissance moves along lines running parallel tobasic given forms;

depending on the nurturing qualities of the strata they wish toinhabit> )ocieties differ only in degrees of ingenuity when ta"ingup a continuum> 9e accept that migrant man"ind will cart alongthe habits of being nomadic and sedentary to the stars, and so,infect the universe> <or the moment, however, here in onecorner of the earth, as nomads, we have an opportunity toreinstate our navigational s"ills> 4et us not waste time ma"ingstatements and concerns that are more appropriate to televisionreportage and soap dramas, daily newspapers and consumer@protection 'ournals, and begin to closely consider the possibilitiesof art and design around which a sincere silence gathers;
