Living Inside the Grid. 2003; 160 pages; paperback; 63 b/w, 60 color images. “Since most people are not pleased to see themselves locked into overlapping systems of straight lines and right angles, many grids are hidden. In response to the rapid profileration of rectilinear divisions of space, architects and urban designers, as well as industrial engineers and software programmers, have become adept at concealing the grid system beneath streets, in walls, and through the use of colorful and/or soft containers. The development of invisible or camouflaged grids, which surround us but deflect attention to their presence, is an essential aspect of the information revolution. Nevertheless, the ubiquitousness of the grid has significantly transformed our sense of reality. Not surprisingly, much of the task of exploring the conditions that this state produces, commenting on its multiple meanings, and enabling us to enhace our understanding of it has fallen to contemporary artists.” -Dan Cameron, “Living Inside the Grid, p. 12.
