On a grey San Francisco day last October I sat alone in a darkened room at the city’s Yerba Buena Centre for the Arts, watching streams of illuminated words and phrases passing before me on a bank of small screens. As they flowed before my eyes, they were intoned in a HAL-like computer-generated voice (with a curious touch of Cary Grant), accompanied by a haunting piano score. Half an hour later I hadn’t moved. I was transfixed.

that was done by a friend of my friend / would-be patron
