Just as there are some metaphors we need to expel from our ways of framing technocultural existences and relationships, we also see that new metaphors are needed to help us frame our experiences, our designs, practices, innovations, inventions, reimaginings, and emergent expressive cultures.	cache/catalyst-39036.htm	txt/catalyst-39036.txt
