“Nothing starts or ends in this model, and as such, more and more the analogy of an ‘erector-set’ might be the best way to talk of structural, conceptual and imaginary experiences in a relational system/entity. This is a ‘tool-box’ of materials that can be utilized for positive experiences, serious research, and hopeful speculation.”

Anthony Braxton's liner notes of his 3 Compositions (Echo Echo Mirror House Music)

You should not believe in grand unification or in a theory of everything. They’re just ideas, indeed ideals, and they might be wrong. However, they remain the ultimate goal of all particle physicists, and noble they are. — Don Lincoln

I had thought that going into space would be the ultimate catharsis of that connection I had been looking for between all living things—that being up there would be the next beautiful step to understanding the harmony of the universe. In the film, Contact, when Jodie Foster’s character goes to space and looks out into the heavens, she lets out an astonished whisper, ‘They should’ve sent a poet.’ I had a different experience, because I discovered that the beauty isn’t out there, it’s down here, with all of us. — William Shatner, on his Blue Origin space tourist venture, a trip that left him with “overwhelming sadness,” “dread,” and which “felt like a funeral.”

"As soon as we treat language as an autonomous object, [...] we condemn ourselves to seeking the power of words in words, that is to say, where it is not." — Pierre Bourdieu, Ce que parler veut dire. L'économie des échanges linguistiques, Fayard, 1982, p. 103.

My article "Cut is a Form of Thinking" is my most sustained non-cinematic attempt to outline my ideas on cinema and the cut in relation to philosophy, infinity, ontology, truth, and its own history. It is part of the new issue of Crisis and Critique. I wrote it for the boy on the left, something that'd inspire him to make the next movie.
