When the work – or the conversation or any other human activity – is going well, then you forget what time it is and whatever else you should be doing. There is some quality in artifacts that is like this process. It’s not that the thing is transparent. On the contrary, it presents itself to you in a very immediate and unavoidable way. It seems inevitable. It isn’t expressive except of its own content. Robin Kinross
