"We …. may insist that objects are always assemblies, "gatherings" in Heidegger's meaning of the word, or things and 'Dinge', and yet, four hundred years after the invention of perspective drawing, three hundred years after projective geometry, fifty years after the development of CAD computer programs, we are still utterly unable to draw together, to simulate, to materialize, to approximate, to fully model to scale, what a thing in all of its complexity is."1 (Bruno Latour)
