"Non-rational logic will not go away."

Here's another exhibition I didn't see. A few years ago, David Byrne, of Talking Heads fame, showed a suite of PowerPoint presentations that he had made; which where essentially a taxonomy of coporate-ese. The project was called "Envisioning Emotional Epistemological Information". Byrne is someone you can count on for oblique, unexpected insights, even if they are somewhat hodge-podge. A cursory search of the Web only turns up a handful of stills from the project, though there was an NPR spot, and a Wired article.
