I went gallery hopping this weekend - but most were shows that were wrapping down or galleries that were just getting back to work and hanging the September show and not showing much, so I went down to the museums and overheard this particular little snippet of conversation.

"I think maps were initially military in practical use - but grids are too basic. Way too basic for most people to get how complex the simple becomes."

I was overwhelmingly happy to hear that in this day and age.
