They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Opened in 1999, the Toronto Music Garden is a fascinating waterfront space inspired by the music of Bach, in collaboration with renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Each dance movement within Bach’s First Suite for Unaccompanied Cello corresponds to a different section in the garden.

Series 1465, File 145, Item 37.Aerial view looking north of Marina Quay West, west of Spadina. The marina is filled with boats, and a landscaped park runs adjacent to the water.

Tri-fold brochure detailing the Toronto Music Garden project with images, descriptions, and park design plans. Text "About the Music Garden" reads: Fronting on Toronto's inner harbour, the 20+ acre Toronto Music Garden is scheduled to open in the spring of 1999. The City of Toronto park is the latest addition to the proposed 40-acre Harbourfront Parks System. The creation of the Music Garden is the results of a unique collaboration between Julie Moir Messervy and landscape architects from the City's Parks and Recreation Division. The park design is inspired by Bach's First Suite for Unaccompanied Cello, with each dance movement within the suite corresponding to a different section in the garden.

Happy 130th Birthday to F. Scott Fitzgerald who was born #onthisday in 1896. This is also your reminder that if editor Maxwell Perkins had not convinced Fitzgerald to change the title, The Great Gatsby was going to be called 'Trimalchio in West Egg.' Which really isn't as good.

This late 20th-century silk furisode represents the culmination of traditional Japanese textile artistry, presenting a symphonic composition that celebrates the full spectrum of classical seasonal beauty through masterful yuzen-painting and lavish gold foil application.
The deep navy ground serves as a dramatic stage for an elaborate procession of motifs that span the Japanese aesthetic calendar - cascading wisteria suggesting late spring's gentle melancholy, cherry blossoms embodying ephemeral beauty, peonies representing summer's lush abundance, and plum blossoms heralding winter's promise of renewal. The addition of decorative fans and flowing stream patterns creates layers of cultural reference, with the fans suggesting refined courtly leisure and the water motifs providing visual continuity that unifies the diverse floral elements into a coherent landscape of luxury.

The composition demonstrates sophisticated understanding of asymmetrical balance, with major motifs positioned to create visual flow that guides the eye around the garment while maintaining areas of restful negative space. The extensive use of gold foil highlights, visible in exquisite detail in the close-up image, elevates every element to jewel-like brilliance, creating a surface that would have shimmered and caught light with every movement of the wearer.

This furisode embodies the cultural confidence of Japan's economic prosperity during the period, when traditional crafts experienced renewed appreciation and investment. The technical virtuosity required to execute such complex yuzen-painting, with its precise color gradations and intricate detailing, represents hundreds of hours of skilled artisanal labor. The butterfly motifs scattered throughout the composition add symbolic layers of transformation and joy, while the overall design philosophy reflects the Japanese concept of mono no aware - the bittersweet awareness of the impermanence of all things - by capturing and preserving the fleeting beauty of seasonal flowers in permanent textile form, creating a wearable meditation on natural cycles and temporal beauty.
