Wikipedia entries
"Vertigo (from the Latin vertō "a whirling or spinning movement"[1]) is a type of dizziness, where there is a feeling of motion when one is stationary."
Vertigo
"A stochastic process has the Markov property if the conditional probability distribution of future states of the process, given the present state and the past states, depend only upon the present state; that is, the past is irrelevant because it doesn't matter how the current state was obtained."
Markov Property
Global Architectures
"The most beautiful thing in Paris is McDonald's. The most beautiful thing in Washington is McDonald's. Beijing and Moscow don't have anything beautiful yet."
from A to B and Back Again, Andy Warhol, 1986.
"Its a small, one story white building with a plastic red roof that just says 'Pizza Hut' and you know exactly what it means. Even though you haven't seen it, you probably know what it looks like because there is one just like it down the street from where you are. The building itself is based on a corporate prototype that is then applied in the same way everywhere the marketing team has deemed profitable. It is the perfect example of corporate architecture because it is not just a building, but a building as registered trademark or logo, doing for architecture what Nike did for shoes.
Finally, it's a structure that can inhabit any climate or site without having to adjust to circumstance.
Pizza Hut is the new International Style."
from International Style, by Andreas Angelidakis, 1997

"Dog piece," by Jose Maria
"JM: One of my favorite pieces was the dog piece. In Anapra there are a lot of stray dogs, the kind where the females have had so many litters that their stomachs and nipples almost drag across the dirt as they walk around. These were all “mutts,” as you call them, so I thought it would be interesting to bring in a pure-bred dog and let her roam free in town and see how people react. So I went to Juárez and bought a Chihuahueño and let her loose, but someone must have stolen her.
GF: Oh.
JM: I never saw her again after that first day. Then I got another one in El Paso, a long-haired one, and smuggled him in. People were mystified seeing this little guy–so clean and out of place. He had a refinement that was obvious. Initially he had trouble socializing with the other dogs. People started calling him El Pequeño Diablo. They thought he was either a gift from God, a curse of the Devil, or some sort of message being sent by [the most prominent drug-dealer at the time]. No one ever found out where he came from. El Pequeño was still roaming the town when I moved to El Paso. He was kind of a mascot.
GF: What makes you like this piece?
JM: It’s basically invisible. What I did–bring a dog to town–just added one more dog. There has to be over 500 dogs in Anapra. Probably more. So in terms of things added, it’s basically nothing. But everyone–kids, adults, criminals, nuns–they all loved seeing a little Chihuahua running around. So it had an impact, but nothing tangible. It’s also an intervention–if you want to call it that–that I had no control over. Once I introduced the dog to the environment, it was out of my hands completely."
