I was heart warmed by the video in this last image. A fine mist of lit-up dust drifted in the foreground. Through this brownian dance the camera followed seven or so grey munchkins, hunchbacked, with tall pointy hats, as they slowly orbited a featureless grey room. They seemed to be intentionally sleep shuffling, and at moments became absorbed in a wizardly tai chi. A wonderfully strange, slowed-down soundtrack accompanied the projection: Muffled voices extended into incomprehensible, musical abstraction. Delicious.

Back in 1995, Morgan Stanley produced a snapshot of internet affairs for investors, simply titled The Internet Report. Today the report remains an entertaining reminder of what it’s like to peer with enthusiasm into a dense fog.
