We have to see what’s in front of us, but we’re socialized not to see what’s in front of us: we are socialized to respond to the distractions. When the Highline first opened, I was walking along it, and, at some point, I stopped, and I looked out. It hit me for the first time: every shape was a rectangle!  Everything was a rectangle! I stopped strangers that were walking by and said, ‘Stop, stop, look: what do you see? What do you see? What’s the shape?’ And they’re going, ‘Uh, rectangles.’ I asked, ‘Why?’ This is something that we have allowed ourselves to believe is absolute, that there is no other shape that might be a more effective to live in. And that makes me then wonder, ‘How does that rectangle affect how we relate to one another? What if we were living in a circle that seems to be endless? Would we apply a binary approach to almost everything?’
