In Response to a Draft of "Twelve American Cities" by Nico Vassilakis

The work in twelve parts is an explanation of layers in the context of human churn: 

1. the physical being that is the city performed as a piece of earth representing the dehumanized view of a city as viewed from space; 
2. the physical space of the city inhabited by humanity as represented by the viral off-circles of "never sleeps" (thus, the conjoining of the physical--the landscape of a city as it is--with the human--their processes of moving of constant wakefulness of at least some all the time); and 
3. the slicing away of the city, that physical space, and the representation of humanity as unmoored, afloat in the darkness of space, without grounding or purpose but operating as if the ground that bore them, supported them, was actually meaningless to their sense as human beings in the active process of being alive.
