Have a look at this ad.

It’s from Liberty Mutual. It shows impact beginning at one end of a car and running through till it exits the other end. Accident becomes repair. Almost instantaneously. Fantastic.

It reminds me of an ad for Acura (I think), that shows shop windows changing in real time and restaurants in a constant state of renovation. It reminds me of that fantastic passage in the book by Sarah Thornton about the club scene in London where she sees dance fashion changing in the course of a single song.

This is the terminus (if that’s not absolutely the wrong word, and it is) that awaits us in our present trajectory, a culture where everything streams with change all the time.
