The Real and the Virtual
For an old journalist - one never leaves one's roots entirely - there is nothing like the heft of a publication in print - that is, on paper. Truth be told, however, I seem to read more of the New York Times online today than I do of the actual newspaper, even though I buy it every day ($2.00 on weekdays, $5.00 on Sunday). This is because it's my homepage, and I can stay current with the news if I scan the headlines each time I open Safari. For someone who loves print, this is a big shift.
In parallel with Log's print production - 2,528 cumulative pages in issues one through 18 - there has also been a technological and generational shift in architecture. This is seen in the rapid upswing of the digital - computation, parametrics, the virtual, and its proponents. Being fully aware that this also translates to a cultural shift in methods of communication, last summer we undertook to "refresh" the Anyone Corporation Web site.
