"The Patternists specialized in cerebral asymmetry. With grossly expanded right-brain hemispheres, they were highly intuitive, given to metaphors, parallels, and sudden cognitive leaps. Their inventive minds and quick, unpredictable genius had given them a competitive edge at first. But with these advantages had come grave weaknesses: autism, fugue states, and paranoia. Patternists grew out of control and became grotesque webs of fantasy." - Bruce Sterling Schismatrix Plus

Instamatic Panoramics
For probably 10 yrs I carried around a Kodak Instamatic 110 camera. Cheap to develop and print, I had it everywhere. Fit great in my cargo pocket pants. Not the best quality in the world so when I saw a sight to see, I blew a bunch of frames to make a larger photo.
In various degrees of decay due to poor storage and proximity to art supplies, it's a wonder they live till today. Many of them are incomplete. Many of them are weathered and adorned by yellowing Scotch Tape. Many of them I still have to find... somewhere packed away.
