Kaktus Towers Tuned to a Dead Channel
A reference to William Gibson
William Gibson is often quoted for the phrase: ‘The future is already here, it’s just not very evenly distributed’ (in an interview with the Economist).
I wonder if Bjarke Ingels read William Gibson’s ‘Neuromancer’ in the 80s. The first sentence of the novel reads: “The sky above the port was the color of television tuned to a dead channel”.
For the average young person today a dead channel is blue, if a channel is ever dead, I wonder? To my generation a dead channel was black & white (an ‘ant war’ if was referred to metaphorically).
To a young Gibson it must have been a warm grey-ish as the vacuum tubes got sufficiently warm to present images.
