The API as Curator
            Aaron Straup Cope
                   Museums and the Web 2008
“She gestured for the living room, phasing past what would've
been the door to her mother's bedroom. She'd barely wireframed
it, here, and there was no there there, no interiority. The living
room had its sketchy angles as well, and furniture she'd imported
from a Playmobil system that predated her Sandbenders.


              William Gibson
“Wonkily bit-mapped fish swam past monotonously around in a
glass coffee table she'd built when she was nine. The trees
through the front window were older still : perfectly cylindrical
Crayola brown trunks, each supporting an acid-green cotton ball
of undifferentiated foliage. If she looked at the tree long enough,
the Mumphalumphagus would appear outside, wanting to play, so
she didn't.”
