Just created a piece of "art" for our upcoming punch card art show. I'll post a link to it soon... But somehow I was struck by the concept of the constellation Orion: the Hunter and a sequence of dates and numbers: 1066 1492 1776 1984 2001 9/11 911...
1066 - Norman conquest of England changed the English language and culture
1492 - the "discovery" of America by Columbus
1776 - the United States becomes independent from the British Empire
1984 - George Orwell's chilling novel about the "future"
2001 - a space odyssey
9/11 (2001) - destruction of the Twin Towers in New York
911 - universal emergency phone number
I'm sure there are more relevent sequences of numbers, but these seemed to stick in my head for some reason. Kinda heavy, I know. I suppose I could have also included 1966 for my birthday and the release of the Beatles' Revolver...we all live in...a yellow submarine...sky of blue...sea of green...
