If art equals place, and nothing of civilization can happen other than in a place, place as art gives the artist universal leadership in all matters of civilization.
In a networked civilization of global extent, any point within that matrix of civilization can be the center of it. Wherever I am is the center of civilization. While I wondered if this long standing opinion of mine (making me a chauvinist of whatever place I live in) was due merely to ego, I now believe it is due largely to the understanding of the inevitable relationship of where anyone is standing to the entire web of civilization.
