[[strikethrough]] shows here, things that nobody in New York has gotten out yet, or had had the idea for [[strikethrough]] you [[/strikethrough]] yet. And it's just so exciting that this could go on all over the place. 

UM: Don't you think that... 
[[/strikethrough]]

LL: [[strikethrough]] One more thing before I forget it. [[/strikethrough]] Iain had realized [[strikethrough]] that [[/strikethrough]] the fact of his [[strikethrough]] realization [[/strikethrough]] isolation from New York and worked with it..He realized that it was a reproduction-oriented culture totally dependent on communications that he was working from. You waited for the next issue of Artforum, and then you worked from it. He knew if the work was going to get on & he had to have his own communication system. And he did; [[strikethrough]] And that's how I think he got [[strikethrough]] the idea of [[/strikethrough]] to working with communications He said, alright, I'll work with it, if that's the way it is. I'll work from that basis, rather than from the museum gallery ........ anyway, the way he found out about art [[/strikethrough]] So He used as a starting-point rather than as a way of catching up with New York. [[strikethrough]] In other words, [[/strikethrough]] He started from [[strikethrough]] what he got from [[/strikethrough]] New York & elsew, rather than having to go back and to go where they started from. 

UM: Getting too involved with New York, you mean?

LL: Yes, and it worked very well out there because he's into the kind of communication that take only a second to get. They use helicopters [[/strikethrough]] ^[[telecopiers]] and it takes only a minute to send a picture(?) and it comes back to New York on this machine. So he doesn't have to wait for Artforum either. And also he likes the idea that a lot of the art world is completely by-passes by his helicopter [[/strikethrough]] ^[[telecopier]] pieces, because no gallery would have helicopter [[/strikethrough]] ^[[telecopier]] receivers.

UM: How does he work this now? Does he work with centers of business or... [[strikethrough]]
