"The formal 'broken arch' of the Baroque was not simply an attempt
at imitating a cleft in a classical ruin: it was a symbol that
European civilisation itself was split, that a straightforward
intact arch from the age of medieval faith to the age of reason and
enlightenment had split down the middle the whole European psyche
between one belief and another."


on another note-

popomo ponderings on the LA rave scene... in search of culture- ecstasy, techno, and heidegger's dwelling space. socal rave culture as the last failed modernist experiment, or development of baudrillard's simulacra?
