What's my rank as a baddie?
 
Whether taken by a photojournalist or captured by my arse; painted by Leonardo (Fig. 1) or by Breugel (Fig. 2); created by Malevich or drawn by Tatlin – there is no existing disciplinary model for understanding images that is definitive or exhaustive of the meanings that they convey to us and the value (or values) they have for us. This is why I began to develop a course in graphic design using a database model, with its potentially infinite archive and its defining filtering and sorting systems.
 
A refugee from California and New York, I was in a beach house in Oregon overlooking a foggy coastline and the Pacific Ocean. I placed a call to the academic department director at the Art Institute of Portland who was to hire me to develop a course in the history of graphic design, in order to finalize the arrangements and get started on the project. She proceeded to relate to me what had happened to the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon. The rest of the weekend was spent in a fog – literally, a heavy one, in front of my eyes – punctuated with assaulting and arresting visual images of the attacks on the monoliths.
