...starting point of the Asian print renaissance is a sunlit studio perched above the sluggish Singapore River. There, resident artists sketch or paint their works. When they're done, they descend to the movement's operations room, a cement-floored space sealed to all natural light. It is dominated by machinery once owned by the hugely influential though now retired American printer after whom the institute is named: Kenneth Tyler, a man who consistently pushed the boundaries of printmaking from the 1960s onward, working with such artistic luminaries as Frank Stella and David Hockney.

It was followed in 1988 by a plan for thousands of small satellites, dubbed Brilliant Pebbles, to detect and destroy enemy missiles by ramming into them.

The company he founded, New York-based Inwindow Outdoor, connects property owners with advertisers who are willing to pay for window space, conveniently located at eye level of anyone walking or driving by. The ads go from floor to ceiling and are pretty hard to miss. One recent Chicago project advertised Intel over the entire façade of a now defunct Comp USA store...
