"Well, all the things I wrote on the board were quotes and buzzwords that are significant by themselves, but in this context they're nonsense. It's a statement about communication and education. It's about all the disparate things we are absorbing into our culture without much context." - Wang Qingsong, That's Magazine, June 2004
