Mash up

She's a visionary, driven and tough, the proud owner of a vast set of matched pink leather luggage. Isn’t eager to give up other indulgences, “If I could, I would have them all,” she said with a staged cackle.

So charismatic, her talks are usually mesmerizing. Presenting duties with three lieutenants she was keeping some new features "top secret". In a society known for close ties and hidden deals between government officials and business leaders, she says simply, "I'm an honest businesswoman." Like an army of handlers she effortlessly sucks the audience into her famous "reality distortion field," a state of suspended disbelief that makes even mundane products seem like miracles of technology.

She had formed a company to collect intense, solid swaths of color for recycling and ship it to China as a new sex-symbol vocabulary with a bracing, modern edge. With a lot of technical wizardry under the hood, “I take the raw material in the morning, And in the evening, I change it into something fantastic.” In case you were wondering, she doesn’t pack or unpack herself, all part of the magic of being the leader in an industry. For many, it is the chance to see their hero in the flesh, a brash brush stroke of lipstick feminism.

It's weird and puzzling to think that Barbie was on board, but when her employees made mistakes, she would criticize them severely. She made it clear when to reward and when to punish.

exp2- the Edge

The hole cut in the centre along with the breaks in the ramp are suggestive of the destructiveness of computer viruses which aim to overtake control systems at the core and wipe out all. The goodness ironically lies in the fact that they are in some sense a form of life, if not biological.




Mysticism...a "hard word" is replicated through a challenging obstacle to get to the "Kingdom of Heaven...within". Yet being mystical , such a place can never truly be apprehended, no doubt reached and so there comes a degree of difficulty and imposibility.


The stream of light creeping out of an exterior of darkness is what shall be called Mysticism. Light representing hope in indicative of the heavens and of the thought to seek goodness within.

The Ramp

The ramps proposed for both are rather a make up of series of fragmented steps in some cases joined but in overall terms broken. Hawking deals with life in the context of computer viruses where their destructive nature eats away the materialistic aspects. Whereas Nightingale talks of the heavens. Mysticism is of spiritual apprehension of truths beyond understanding and so is in some sense broken beyond reach.

"It is human nature that we seek the good within. Thus I think computer viruses should count as life though purely destructive yet [w]e have created life in our own image. What we seek is Mysticism. Is it not a hard world for the Kingdom of Heaven is within?"

Florence Nightingale (1820-1910)

"For what is Mysticism?... Is it not merely a hard word for 'The Kingdom of Heaven...within'?" [Florence Nightingale, 1873]

Stephen Hawking

“I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.”
