The amount of information available to us has expanded almost infinitely.... The organization of disparate pieces into a coherent narrative is one of the crucial distinctions between twentieth- and twenty-first century assemblage. Although like their predecessors they are amalgams of discrete objects, the structure of the sculptures of the twenty-first century resemble not a newspaper, but a McSweeny's magazine, with its individual stories and articles printed in multiple typefaces and interrupted with footnotes, rhetorical inserts and illustrations.
