On the Grid
On Friday afternoons I like to take a walk around the area when on break from work. This week I went looking for grids. I noticed very quickly that grids are everywhere in a modern city.
Window grids on glass-faced buildings. Paving and floor tiles. Wall tiles in the bathroom. Ceiling tiles in the office or retail stores. Storm drain grates. The patterns of bumps on the non-slip section of a wheelchair ramp. If you zoom out, there’s the pattern of streets, all the electrical and data cables making their way around town…
…and of course the metaphorical grid that all of us are plugged into, that some of us long to get off of.
