21st April 2026

 



Baby?

you can drive my car...

I can't see...

Intaglio Romantic


I caught sight of an innovation

on this of 'things made by craftsmen'

which included an etching press

constructed by 3D printer

 

How curious!

A 3D printer

utilised to make a 2D printer

because the former is cheaper

than to reproduce the technology

of five centuries ago.

 

notebooks replaced paper

paper replaced vellum

vellum replaced papyrus

papyrus replaced clay

 

The application of technology

brings about convenience

and world destruction.

 

How would Prometheus feel

if he knew his theft of fire

would lead the thermonuclear bombs?


Would his liver regret the sacrifice?

 

and if I had an etching press

would I even use it?

Or just keep on painting

and writing my rubbish?
