註釋For almost two centuries chess has been a measure of both human & machine intelligence in the West. The thousand year old Asian game of go, while never used to determine levels of intelligence, is similar to chess in its use of logic & strategy. Chess is vertical, arborescent, & hierarchical, while go is horizontal, rhizomatic & non-hierarchical. The relationship between the two games resembles the formal conditions of many phenomena in the world, including cities, where clearly defined programs (dry, or point-to-point) have given way to vague & repetitious fields (wet, or fluid). Wet vs. Dry is Neil Denari's architectural esponse to the comparisons between these two games & what they represent. It contains Denari's colorful & imaginative working drawings, computer renderings & photography known to readers from his work in Gyroscopic Horizons as well as theoretical texts & film stills.
