One of the most common changes now is the introduction of explicit discontinuity. On the strip, in the mall, on the city street, at the exhibitions and theme parks we find abrupt transitions, non-linear juxtapositions, or ironic places that break continuity to comment on themselves. Patterns of action become more involuted and self-referential.

Developing new dimensions of movement is not new; what is novel is the pace and self-explicitness and self-reflection of the changes. The trajectory of the change can become itself an object or contour to be appreciated or changed.
