Status Updates From Expanded Cinema

Finished part one. Boy do i have thoughts on this book that must wait but I’ll drop two musings for now

1- i really really hate R Buckminster Fuller
2- it is amusing how poorly philosophical/critical texts on emerging technology and its influence on society from the 60s-80s have aged: see “holographic cinema will be perfected in the next two decades” and “computers will replace programmers within a decade”

"Art has operated in the gap between what we know and what we dream. The gap is closing quickly: what we dream is often what we see.
Television will serve to bridge the gap and to guide the way toward a more successful
environment.
The eyes replace the me's and we arrive at a condition where what we show becomes what
we say."
EDWIN SCHLOSSBERG

все еще интересно, но середина старомодна

Time, said St. Augustine, is a threefold present: the present as we experience it; the past as present memory; the future as present expectation.

Книга - открытие!

Культовая книга 1970-го, несправедливо опущена в тень, до сих пор не переведена на русский язык.
