@Oisín Mac Suibhne And by "her persona", I totally meant "his". I was just still thinking about how awesome Tilda Swinton is.

That kinda blew my mind a little. I’ll admit to maybe being one of those ‘die-hard worshipers’…at least when you knew me. Wind In The Wires hit me something fierce when I heard it, as well as a few tracks off Lycanthropy that I still have a hard time forgiving. But even though I knew a lot of the material he was going to put on The Magic Position from live shows and such, I was completely turned off by the way the came out on the album — so much so that I’m not sure if I ever gave the album a solid listen. I did listen to his new album once — and I liked it, but I still haven’t really sat down with it. It blew my mind that Tilda Swinton did voice-overs all through it, but it still hasn’t drawn me back yet. I think it’s just her persona that threw me off the trail, I dunno. That, and living in a situation where music wasn’t really all that welcome.

Enough rambling comment, it’s 3am.

I just spent 20 beautiful minutes of procrastination trying to figure out what kind of ‘manifestly stable superstructure’ could possible support ‘permutations of human interaction.’ Maybe some kind of derek or scaffolding.

I like where you were going with the one-liner. I think you should continue blogging exclusively in such mind-blowing prose…

For my non sequitur: I heard a band last night at the Kennedy Center called Vandaveer. Obviously though of you. Also you might kinda like them.

Steven, this adds to the image for me, thank you, and I’m learning about Moiré patterns now. I’m in NY frequently these days, so we’ll have to meet up—

Haha, because the possibility of Moiré patterns never even occurred to me!

You’re definitely right about it likely being reflective rather than transmissive, given the location of the light source. I briefly thought about that as I proofing this, but couldn’t think of a term for it, so I just went with what I had. I’ll update it in a bit, thanks!

Now, it could all just be Moiré, but I find that unlikely. If you look at the just-out-of-focus part on the upper left of the web, that coloration definitely seem like a Moiré pattern. It seems to have the same periodicity as the example you give. The brighter part that I was highlighting seems to lack this, though that might just be due to the natural variations in the web which are absent in a building.

Perhaps this is why you said you couldn’t tell from this image!
