Our birdhouse, then, represents the concept of what can he called folded space. Where the specificity of the grid referred to place, the singularity of the fold refers to time and its infinite variations. The strategy of folding is not only a metaphorical expression of the transformation from the mechanical to the electronic paradigm; it is also literally an evolutionary and thus natural process -- space as both heterotopia and heterotemporal, occupying many places at the same time and many times in the same place.
