Janet Cardiff really isn't giving away too much on her site—really just enough to tip me over the edge so I'm actually ordering the microphone set I dreamt about last weekend. (Yes, I did end up returning that first mic I blogged about before. & yes, I am dreaming about microphones!)

The thing that always drives me insane about art is that you can't just run out & see whatever you happen to get fixated upon at any moment. If you're a poet & you suddenly *must* read the work of some wonderful famous poet who inspires you, you can just check things out of the library or go to the bookstore & buy all their books. I can't exactly jump on a plane & go to East Oakville, Ontario without being seriously late for brunch tomorrow. That would be a bad thing.
