«La manipulation du temps de diffusion produit sur le spectateur un déplacement perceptif favorisant l’ introspection et la réflexion, en le plaçant dans une situation de sommeil ou de rêve éveillé.»

Indian Tantric doctrine
«A simple example can be found in the Indian Tantric doctrine of the three tradicional expressions of the deity: the anthropomorphic, or visual, image; the yantra, or geometric “energy” diagram; and the mantra, or sonic representation through chanting and music.»
«It is interesting to note that these are all considered to be equal – simply outward expressions of the same underlying thing. In form, this is not unlike the nature of electronic systems: the same electronic signal can be an image if fed into a video monitor, an energy diagram if fed into an oscilloscope, and a sequence of sounds if fed into an audio system.»

Gestalt Psychology
«As in the figure/ground shifts described in Gestalt psychology, we are in the process of a shift away from the temporal, piece-by-piece approach of constructing a program (symbolized by the camera and its monocular, narrow, tunnel-of-vision, single point view), and towards a spatial, total-field approach of carring out potencially multiple programs (symbolized by the computer and its holistic software models, data spaces, and the infinite points of view). We are proceeding from models of the eye and ear to models of thought processes and conceptual structures in the brain. “Conceptual Art” will take a new meaning.»

«The telematic process, like the technology that embodies it, is the product of a profound human desire for transcendence: to be out of body, out of mind, beyond language. Virtual space and dataspace constitute the domain, previously provided by myth and religion, where imagination, desire, and will can reengage the forces of space, time, and matter in the battle for a new reality.»

Diagram
«The idea of art as a kind of diagram has for the most part not made it down from the Middle Ages into modern European consciousness.»
«The original structural aspect of art, and the idea of “data space” was preserved trough the Renaissance, however, in the continued relation between the image and architecture.»
«The older concept of an idea and an image architecture, a memory “place” like the mnemonic temples of the Greeks, is carried trough in the great European cathedrals and palaces, as is the relation between memory, spatial movement, and, the storage (recording) of ideas.»
Giordano Bruno | Mnemonic
«We are moving to the idea space here, into the world of thoughts and images as they exist in the brain, not on some city planner’s drawing board. With the integration of images and video into the domain of computer logic, we are beginning the task of mapping the conceptual structures of our brain onto the technology.»

«It is memory, and to some extent sleep, that gives us the impression of a life of discrete parts, periods, or sections, of certain times or “highlights”.»

«The interesting thing about idea spaces and memory systems is that they presuppose the existence of some sort of place, either real or graphic, which has its own structure and architecture.»
