An object imbued with intent - it has power, it's treasure, we're drawn to it. An object devoid of intent - it's random, it's imitative, it repels us. It's like a piece of junk mail to be thrown away.

  • -- John Hockenberry 约翰·霍肯伯里

一个充满意图的物体——它有力量,它是宝藏,我们被它吸引。一个没有意图的物体——它是随机的,它是模仿的,它排斥我们。这就像一封要扔掉的垃圾邮件。
