Have You Been Anywhere? I suppose I ought to consider the question rhetorical,  or know it simply means, I’d like to know what you’ve seen.

To say “it is” is to grasp for permanence. To say “it is not” is to adopt the view of nihilism. Therefore a wise person does not say “exists” or “does not exist.”

"There is only one way to look at things until someone shows us how to look at them with different eyes."

Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.. What makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art.””

- Brian Eno (via jessiethatcher)

Space is not an entity. It is not a nonentity. 

Not characterized, not without character.

“There are also different clarities. Some things are not meant to be clear; obscurity is their clarity. We should not underestimate obscurity. Obscurity is as rich as luminosity.”
