DoubleQuotes consist of two quotes (or images), juxtaposed. They are intended to work in a way that I learned from haiku: as thoughts dropped into the mind-pond, not so much for their own sakes as for their concentric ripples and the interference patterns between them.
DoubleQuotes are a subset of my analytic work using concepts drawn from Herman Hesse's Glass Bead Game and my playable variants, the HipBone Games.
I am very curious about Sheikh Palazzi, featured in the quote accompanying the image of young Palestinians in suicide kit: he tells some very brave truths. The first quote is replete with irony, too: the doll being a work of agitprop, yet costing more than $1,000 -- with the proceeds going to Amnesty.
I'm the designer of the HipBone Games, playable variants on Hermann Hesse's Glass Bead Game. I'm associated with the Center for Millennial Studies at Boston University, and worked as Senior Analyst at The Arlington Institute, a beltway think tank in Virginia, on the social impact of large and surprising changes. Presently I'm focusing on the Middle East and developing a tool for conflict analysis -- and hopefully, eventually, conflict resolution!
