By that I mean that you can't write a text in five minutes (you can't anyway), but that writing is a slowness, a detour, and we need detours, not digressive detours but approaching detours, discovering detours." (Hélenè Cixous) What detours are there to explore in language and design? And how can the respective other, in the ongoing rearrangement as well as in the becoming in movement - with incompleteness as practice and activity itself - be a detour of one and vice versa?
