Je cherche le caractère dans chaque matière. Or le caractère de la céramique de gris est le sentiment du grand feu, et cette figure [sculpture] calcinée dans cet enfer, en exprime je crois assez fortement le caractère.

I look for the character of each medium. The character of stoneware is that of a very hot fire, and this figure [sculpture] that has been scorched in the ovens of hell is I think a strong expression of this character.”
Gauguin Paul, Letter to Madeleine Bernard (1889)

“It’s strange. I’ve spent most of my life trying to convince everyone that I’m completely normal. You know, that I can’t see dead people. Now I’m in this bizarre situation where I’m actively trying to prove that I can... and it’s not working.”
Jacqueline E. Smith, Lost Souls

pranita deshpande

“Psychosis, it seemed to some, was in the air. One unhappy host played Phil a copy of Marshall McLuhan's 1968 LP The Medium is the Massage, an audio collage inspired by the resonating global echo chamber that McLuhan believed formed a new electronic form of “acoustic space.â€� When the recording began, Dick clapped his hands over his ears and screamed, “Turn it off! Turn it off! It sounds like the inside of my head when I go mad and have to go the hospital.”
Erik Davis, High Weirdness: Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experiences in the Seventies

Neil Postman
“Huxley grasped, as Orwell did not, that it is not necessary to conceal anything from a public insensible to contradiction and narcotized by technological diversions. Although Huxley did not specify that television would be our main line to the drug, he would have no difficulty accepting Robert MacNeil's observation that 'Television is the soma of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.' Big Brother turns out to be Howdy Doody.”
Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

“Absolutely everyone is intuitive. Just because you don’t have a sense of it or don’t understand it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.”

Neil Postman
“A message denotes a specific, concrete statement about the world. But the forms of our media, including the symbols through which they permit conversation, do not make such statements. They are rather like metaphors, working by unobtrusive but powerful implication to enforce their special definitions of reality. Whether we are experiencing the world through the lens of speech or the printed word or the television camera, our media-metaphors classify the world for us, sequencing it, frame it, enlarge it, reduce it, color it, argue a case for what the world is like.”
Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business
