David Byrne on the poetics of meetings:
If business is poetry, then numbers are words and sales presentations, marketing meetings and conferences are the salons and literary collaborations of our time. There is no avant-garde, it is no longer possible to shock the bourgeousie, and being poor for the sake of one's principles is no longer a virtue. The creative forces have shifted; where once there was opposition, now there is collaboration. Where once there was an alternative view, life and culture, now all activity surges towards a common goal.
