For over thirty years, besides making music, David Byrne has focused his unique genius upon forms as diverse as the archaeology of music as we know it, architectural photography and the uses of PowerPoint. Now he presents his most personal work to date, a collection of drawings exploring the form of the tree diagram. Arboretum is an eclectic blend of science, automatic writing, self-analysis and satire. A journey through irrational logic - the application of scientific rigour and form to irrational premises, proceeding from careful nonsense to unexpected sense. The tree diagram is a form that might reveal more about yourself than you dreamed possible.

This book offers suggestions for how to organize your associations in a visual way. It's really fun, even if your associations are likely to be very different from David Byrne's (and why wouldn't they be?)

Not Your Average
I only (and whole-heartedly) recommend this book for reader-thinkers who are not upset at content that has an utterly new design pattern. If you merely want a comfortable read, forget this one. If you like stretching your mind, then you can get one wild workout from Byrne. I recommend the book for anybody who enjoys reading Lao-tse AND William Gibson.
