“The slowness of the craft time serves as a source of satisfaction (…). Slow craft time also enables the work of reflection and imagination – which the push for quick results cannot.” Richard Sennet, 2009. The Craftsman. Penguin Books.
"The person figured here is not an autonomous, rational actor but an unfolding, shifting biography of culturally and materially specific experiences, relations, and possibilities inflected by each next encounter (...) in uniquely particular ways." (Lucy Suchman, Human-machine reconfigurations: plans and situated actions, 2009, 281)

And because of this, it leaves out things that are terribly important.
(...) The question that is absolutely basic for all human beings is: what have we left out?» Man of No Ego (2015). Slowing Down. Image by Monica Pinheiro, license CC BY-NC-SA (CC).
