Marco Brambilla quotes about
attention entry essential experience flow rather work
Most of my work has no conventional narrative, so it's not essential to have a beginning and an end - your attention can flow in and out of the experience rather than having a set entry point.
aggressive center dealt means seductive tension time work
For me, a lot of my work has dealt with what it means to be at the center of the universe and how alienating and kind of seductive it is. A lot of my work is very aggressive and very visual, but at the same time, it has a lot of tension in it and makes you kind of uncomfortable sometimes.
advantage artist connects fit good people supporting work
Being able to make work - if it's on your terms, and it's a good fit with the people who are supporting it - can be a very interesting exercise. When it doesn't work is when an artist just connects with a brand, and they try to take advantage of each other.
aware gets less life looking noticeable people projection seeing technology video
I think that in a weird way, as technology gets more sophisticated, people have become less aware of it. It's become part of our day to day life. We're seeing large-scale projection mapping, like on buildings. There's video everywhere. It's much less noticeable that we're actually looking at technology.
behave obsessed people versus york
I'm very obsessed with the energy of New York and the idea of the way people behave in the city versus the way they behave in a natural environment.
connection constant deals emotional technology work
Thematically, most of my work deals with transition, our culture's constant acceleration, and emotional connection and disconnection through technology.
create opportunity project
Just doing a project because it's an opportunity won't create meaning. As an artist, I need something to communicate.
anyone artists companies mainstream outside popular products record time
A lot of very popular mainstream artists are products of record companies and marketing companies, and any time anyone can stand outside of that, that's interesting.
advertising although best commercial embracing filmmaker innovative intended money requires time work
I never intended to become a commercial filmmaker in the first place. What I do requires time and experimentation. Commercial work is often not the best way to get the most innovative work, because it's about money and marketing. Although advertising is now embracing non-commercial people.
imagine politics
Usually, the energy in elevators is so awkward; I mean, I can't imagine the politics in the ones in the Conde Nast building.
films huge interest
I'm a huge cinemaphile. My interest in filmmaking came out of experimenting with different genres, and I wanted to go back to working in a way that was more personal, which, for me, was artwork. Commercials and films are more collaborative.
