Linus Lee on the public art around Radio City (buttondown.com)

Especially Isamu Noguchiā€˜s magestic frieze ā€œNewsā€ at the entrance to the Associated Prests building.

A telephone, a typewriter, a camera. But the subject of the sculpture isn’t any of these individual products or technologies. It’s the employment of these technologies by humans to create new things, to report and distribute stories about the world. The story is a story about technology, but here, technology is fundamentally a human endeavor. It is humans who give technology meaning and direction, and humans’ directed use of technology which Radio City celebrates. This humanist perspective on technology is simultaneously irreverent, principled, and agency-asserting.

Emphasis mine.
