Global Village 37-48
1989
The title of Global Village refers to the book by Marshall McLuhan,
The Medium is the Message : An lnventory of the Effects, which explores the effects of mass communication and globalisation.
The series of black rectangles - placed using the Yi King, a Chinese divination book - composes a flat surface not without resemblance to the With Verticals ( 1983, Moma, New York) silkscreen prints by Anni Albers, with whom he was close. If Albers' black lines belonged to the Connections series, those by Cage, called "buildings", seem ta emerge from an urban mass or evoke the idea of a culture that has become global.
