What I was saying was that the media should not dictate the message. Too often designers who know next to nothing about the field being interpreted, can warp the message the curatorial staff is trying to convey because they have some "hot" new medium they want to use. When you change the story to suit the medium you are getting yourself out on a very slippery griddle. Robert O. Dahl 8421 N.
