Item Description
Recently, I have been asking myself, “What does it mean when something looks silent?” I thought of this question after I saw the TV pictures taken from a helicopter of the damaged reactor at Chernobyl...There were, as far as the eye could see, no birds and no animals. Just silence—and radioactivity, which is also silent. What an odd thing. When technology is permitted to run amok, the end result in this very noisy age is not cacophony but silence.
