“It seems to me that dominant cinema seems to require an empathy or a sympathy between the film and the audience which is basically to do with the manipulation of the emotions and it seems to me again -- and this is a very subjective position -- that most cinema seems to trivialise the emotions, sentimentalising or romanticising them.” SeemsFilmEmotionAudiencePositionEmpathyCinemaManipulationDominantSubjective Author:Peter Greenaway
“If you are engaging rationality, you are already engaging a place that makes you unavailable. Only when I recognize that inspiration has announced itself to my availability will I then say I need to use my mind to calculate exposure, my emotions to position myself and arrange a configuration of shapes that need to come into being, my body to put it all in place because we have been given a message and it has come through inspiration through being available.'” IfsNeedsMindHas BeensUseBodyInspirationGivenEmotionPositionShapesMessagesPhotographerAvailableRationalityEngagingExposureAvailabilityConfiguration Author:Paul Caponigro

“It is tempting to believe that social evils arise from the activities of evil men and that if only good men (like ourselves, naturally) wielded power, all would be well. That view requires only emotion and self-praise - easy to come by and satisfying as well. To understand why it is that 'good' men in positions of power will produce evil, while the ordinary man without power but able to engage in voluntary cooperation with his neighbors will produce good, requires analysis and thought, subordinating emotions to the rational.” IfsMenBelieveWellsSelfWould BeAblePoliticalEvilPoliticsSocialEasyTermViewsEmotionPositionProduceActivityOrdinaryPraiseNeighborAriseRationalAnalysisGood ManCooperationSatisfyingTemptingOrdinary ManEvil ManPosition Of PowerTerm LimitsSelf PraiseSocial Evils Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“I have always been interested in crafting films that use long, static urban landscape shots as a way of manipulating the emotions of the viewer and forcing them to slow down, which I think simultaneously makes them more vulnerable as spectators, and also puts them in a position of being more than just spectators.” ThinkingWayLongUseFilmEmotionPositionShotsVulnerableLandscapeUrbanViewersSlow DownSpectatorsStaticUrban Landscape Author:Jenni Olson
“My work sanitizes it (emotion) but it is also symbolic of commercial art sanitizing human feelings. I think it can be read that way.... People mistake the character of line for the character of art. But it's really the position of line that's important, or the position of anything, any contrast, not the character of it.” PeopleThinkingWayHumansArtImportantCharacterFeelingsLinesEmotionMistakePositionContrastSymbolicCommercial Art Author:Roy Lichtenstein
