A decade ago, developers built information-sharing software by writing a lot of custom code in a single code base, then adding layers of caching. Now we build information systems: interdependent software and services, data platforms, and event streams.

We need to shift to systems thinking.

In this way, art constitutes information that remains in formation---a difference that makes a difference that keeps on differencing.
