I’m always seeking out combines like this, the juxtaposition or synthesis of old and new. My Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is sitting on my desk in Oxford, waiting for my return.

I can’t remember where “medieval modernity” came from. It just struck me that that was what was going on at Luminox with all that pagan rite-of-spring fire stuff alongside the mobile phones and cameras.
