hasn't lehmann brothers in ny been an video billboard since at least 2001?
i saw a lecture some time in 2002/03 ish about the implications of lehmann brothers: if the whole box can be video pixels, what does that mean for the quality of the architecture? it's just an armature at that point, and therefore its invisibility is part of its program. heralding the beginning of innocuous architecture as the goal?
