An "event horizon" or point of no return on the edge of a black hole is a phrase common to science fiction books, tv shows, and movies. The two curved vortex walls, built of whim, desire, and purchasing trends, transforms yesterday’s media hits and today’s detritus into a disco vortex, a material and technological Event Horizon.
