i demand proper aesthetic theory, a discussion of the religious, natural, and technological sublime (all embodied in wind turbine photo, i'd say), and i want to read about connections between it and the old industrial economy/materiality/heaviness and the post-industrial economy/ephemerality/lightness. these generalizations and links to photos (which are great, by the way) don't suffice!
I'm worried: if one of these wind turbines collapses into the waters off Martha's Vineyard, does this mean their shores will be overwhelmed by a spillage of wind?
ah! they are super gothic. When i was in prague they were lasering the facade of a huge monster gothic church, removing the last 400 years of dark wood/coal/oil smoke and grime that must be very similar to the grime on the drillers. Thing is, everyone hated what it looked like clean, the dirt was what told it's story.
