"... since a three-dimensional object casts a two-dimensional shadow, we should be able to imagine the unknown four-dimensional object whose shadow we are."
Marcel Duchamp

i think this may be the start of a new (re)direction, inspired by past ideas, new visions, william blake and some other stuff.
