"This is a
virtual world. This is a world inventing itself.
Daily, new landmasses form and then submerge. New
continents of thought break off from the mainland. Some
benefit from a trade wind, some sink without trace.
Others are like Atlantis –fabulous, talked about, but
never found. Found objects wash up on the shores of my
computer. Tin cans and old tyres mix with the pirate’s
stuff. The buried treasure is really there, but
caulked and outlandish. Hard to spot because unfamiliar,
and few of us can see what has never been named."
