...Mendieta, a Cuban refugee, traveled around the U.S. and Mexico making deep impressions on the ground in the shape of her silhouette. These she filled with rocks or flowers, making feminist earthworks that used a woman's body, not the steam shovels favored by the guys, to connect with nature...
...small advertisers and publishers, Google's automated advertising network is a boon: a new, cost-effective way to connect with one another and with customers. But big media companies had already established connections before Google came along, and so far the amounts of money Google offers content producers are paltry compared with what gets thrown around in traditional media.

If, by participating in such dialogue, we can think beyond the paradigms created for us, we will continue in the spirit of ever-expanding opportunity, thus opening ourselves up to rich, unexplored territory...
