The discovery of instances of new kinds (as well as the inability to find them when a theory predicts that they will appear under certain circumstances) is generally welcomed because of the the light such discoveries throw on the structure of the laws of nature.
Akten's screen-based installation, Equilibrium, is an interactive piece where viewers touch a screen and throw a harmonious structure into chaos, which eventually finds its way back to harmony again.
Airport affect is enacted, in one way, by planning and designing the situational affective context one inhabits – throwing up structures of ethological possibility that shape capacities for the corporeal body to move and be moved.
The pace of building has been so rapid over the years in Shenzhen that the Harvard Design School Project on the city in 2001 coined the phrase "Shenzhen Speed(c)" to signify the stunning pace of throwing up structures.
My father was not simply tossing off a glib phrase when he said that Reagan wanted to rejigger this nation's tax structure to throw "one big Christmas party for the rich".
He will say it is possible that we will discover in the future that language appeared in the human brain as a consequence of some as yet unknown physical law: perhaps biological systems like brains throw up a linguistic structure once they reach a certain level of complexity, in the way that certain compounds take on the structure of crystals.
But his long-term goal is audacious: "to combine kinetic data and structure data, throw all that into a virtual 3D space, give it an amount of random energy, and try to simulate experimental outcomes, or at the very least visualize molecular interactions within the cellular realm".
The different ways in which the De Bruijn graph based assembly programs get around these problems, essentially how they throw out variation-like structure in the graph, is what separates them and is the area on which assembler research is currently focussed.
Late at night when no one is looking, I place innocent birds in a sling shot and throw them at wooden structures hoping they will take out cornerstones and bring those structures crashing to the ground.
What is so desirable about torture that we would create contorted legal structures — and throw away ones that have served us well — as tools for torturing?
