Epstein Secrets

lub meetings, I got to know two young researchers who were about to play key roles in revolutionizing computer science. At MIT in the late seventies, Danny Hillis developed the algorithms that made possible the massively parallel computer. In 1983, his company, Thinking Machines, built the world's fastest super

Shannon, and Marshall McLuhan, all of whom had currency in the New York art circles in which I was then moving. In particular, Cage had picked up on McLuhan’s idea that by inventing electronic technologies we had externalized our central nervous system—that is, our minds—and that we now had to presume tha

to form civilizations. This grand evolutionary loop can now be closed, with atoms arranging bits arranging atoms. 119 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016922 While Danny Hillis was an undergraduate at MIT, he built a computer out of Tinkertoys.

In the Introduction to the second edition of his book Understanding Media, Marshall McLuhan noted the ability of art to “anticipate future social and technological developments.” Art is “an early alarm system,” pointing us to new development
