american-director animated images location stock themselves
So the location for this film is the images themselves - what is traditionally called stock and archival images. Then we animated those images.
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.
trying looks facts
But in fact if you look at film as a metaphor, only through the negative can you have the positive print. What I'm trying to get to is the positive value of negation.
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.
real illiterate-person people
In effect, I feel like a blind, deaf, and illiterate person working through the sensibilities and multiple, real talents of other people. Everything I do is collaborative.
relationship teacher years
Having been an educator for so many years I know that all a good teacher can do is set a context, raise questions or enter into a kind of a dialogic relationship with their students.
brother teaching order
In the order I was in, each brother takes five vows, one of which is teaching the poor gratuitously. As a young person I was seized by this idea of social justice and I wanted very much to follow my vow of teaching the poor gratuitously.
technology air breathe
Technology has become as ubiquitous as the air we breathe, so we are no longer conscious of its presence.
real gone certainty-in-life
Mystery is gone to the certainty of technological principles. So the real terror, the real aggression against life comes in the form of the pursuit of our technological happiness.
