ambiguity american-director built films meaning message work
These films however, have ambiguity built into them, because it's too easy in film to make a strident work of propaganda or advertising, which are really the same thing anyway, meaning the message is unmistakable.
technology use milieu
It's not that we use technology, we live technology.
peace thinking world
I think it's naive to pray for world peace if we're not going to change the form in which we live.
technology
Technology is not neutral.
technology light trying
What I'm trying to do is to at least raise a flag to the blinding light of technology.
technology politics tools
All tools have intrinsic politics and technology is the tool of now.
technology politics etc
It's not just the effect of technology on the environment, on religion, on the economic structure, on society, on politics, etc. It's that everything now exists in technology to the point where technology is the new and comprehensive host of nature of life.
technology air breathe
Technology has become as ubiquitous as the air we breathe, so we are no longer conscious of its presence.
couple memories mean
The normal cut in a theatrical film is anywhere from 3 to 6 seconds. That means thousands of images in a film over a couple of hours. In Visitors the cuts come every 70-plus seconds. The point of view is that the stiller one can be the more open to their senses they become. The whole world is quick right now. If things can be slowed down they stay in memory longer.
technology air trying
What I’m trying to show is that the main event today is not seen by those of us that are living it… So it’s not the effect of [technology], it is that everything exists with-in [its milieu]. It's not that we use technology, we live technology. Technology has become as ubiquitous as the air we breathe, so we are no longer conscious of its presence.
struggle thinking people
In terms of the feeling of the piece, I cant think about what people are gonna think about it, what are the critics gonna say, I'm trying to bring some resolution, and realize that myself. It's a struggle; it's a process that gets us this.
