I LIKE WHAT ARTIST BILL VIOLA WRITES:
"In quiet moments you get an idea, or a thought, or a revelation, that you wouldn't have had if you were in a hurry to get somewhere. Our lives require quiet innocent moments like these, so we absolutely have to make spaces-particularly in our world of compressed time-or else our spirits will get choked off. There's a vast industry surrounding us and permeating our most private spaces that wants it to flow faster and faster away from us, where it can become a commodity to be bought and sold. We have to reclaim time itself, wrenching it from the "time is money," maximum-efficiency mentality, and make room for it to flow the other way...towards us." |
