“In Woody Allen movies people stood in line for Ingmar Bergman films or Holocaust documentaries talking up media theory to pass the time. At 16 that was my idea of fun. Now that I live in New York I can tell you that people lined up for tickets don't debate theory.

I told Cal that the dark space is light, and it is, but it is also play. To be at play is to release the light.”
