Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867)  French poet "maudit". A Don Quixote of the lowlands. His condemned flowers of evil and other mostly forgotten works were resurrected by Jean-Paul Sartre and made to bloom in all their misunderstood beauty. He celebrated an interactive world where sounds, colors, sensations, communicate with each other. He wrote of closed windows that glowed in the night inviting him to imagine interior scenes. Paradoxically this introspective imagining made him feel more alive and in touch with the world. Perhaps Baudelaire was born a century or so too early. He would have loved the digital age.
