#5From http://twentythree.fibreculturejournal.org/fcj-168-do-object...
".. Something strange happens however when objects acquire connectivity, semantic depth, and the powers of computation and memory – they immediately and drastically transgress the ontological borders assigned to them..
.. spimes actively enfold space and time because they have the capacity to carry around their entire existence as a semantic layer..
.. anthropomorphic metaphors are a way for humans to bridge the chasm between ourselves and objects. They create affective resonance between a human and a thing, thereby bringing us onto the same ontological plane."

#7For some reason this immediately reminded me of Larry Nivens Draco Travern: "The Slow Ones". Were a race of aliens had a much slower metabolism than ours, they looked like rocks that slowly over decades where moving toward the tavern across the field to visit. You could communicate with them through email get replies back after a couple of months, to the aliens it was basically instant messaging.

Cool, although disappointingly the trees don't actually seem to have their own email addresses. I clicked on one and the address was "melbourneurbanforest@melbourne.vic.gov.au" and the email subject had the tree id "Information about a London Plane, Tree ID 1024530"
