“So I am totally aware that when I defend the autonomy of art I'm going counter to my own development. It's more an instinctive reaction, meant to protect the private aspect of the work, the part I am most interested in and which nowadays is at risk in our culture.” ArtCultureMy OwnRiskDevelopmentProtectAspectReactionsAutonomy Author:Thom Mayne

“Computer and video games represent one of the most important new media developments of this generation. Unlike many other forms of entertainment they offer players the opportunity to explore, be creative, learn through interaction and express themselves to others. It is vitally important that we protect and nurture this new art form so that it can reach its full potential. Like most new forms of artistic expression that have come before (music, novels, movies), the primary critics of video games are the people that do not play them.” PeopleArtImportantPlayFormOpportunityGamesNovelCreativePlayerGenerationsMediaExpressionDevelopmentOffersProtectComputerCriticsEntertainmentVideoArtisticPrimariesInteractionNurtureBe CreativeNurturingThis GenerationFull PotentialArtistic ExpressionNew Media Author:Will Wright

He himself benefited from it in his own life.” WarGovernmentSpeakEconomicRevolutionDevelopmentIndustryProtectRiversSpendingImprovementInfrastructureHarborsSweepingRailroadsEconomic DevelopmentCanalsAppropriationTariffs Author:Eric Foner

“In every Indigenous community I've been in, they absolutely do want community infrastructure and they do want development, but they want it on their own terms. They want to be able to use their national resources and their assets in a way that protects and sustains them. Our territories are our wealth, the major assets we have. And Indigenous people use and steward this property so that they can achieve and maintain a livelihood, and achieve and maintain that same livelihood for future generations.” PeopleWayWantUseAbleTermCommunityWealthGenerationsAchieveDevelopmentProtectMajorsResourcesPropertyAssetsTerritoryInfrastructureIndigenousFuture GenerationLivelihoodStewardsIndigenous People Author:Rebecca Adamson
