“I invented a camera that has an exposure time of one hundred years and the camera works in the simplest possible terms, because anything more complicated is more likely to break down in one way or another. It's a pinhole camera that lets in very low light and instead of exposing film, which is going to spoil within a matter of days or weeks, I'm using ordinary black paper.” WayYearsMatterLightFilmBlackTermBreakWeekPaperLowsOrdinaryHundredCamerasComplicatedOne WayBreaking DownSimplestExposureSpoilExposing Author:Jonathon Keats

“But technology is the real skin of our species. Humanity, correctly seen in the context of the last five hundred years, is an extruder of technological material. We take in matter that has a low degree of organization; we put it through mental filters, and we extrude jewelry, gospels, space shuttles. This is what we do. We are like coral animals embedded in a technological reef of extruded psychic objects. All our tool making implies our belief in an ultimate tool. That tool is the flying saucer, or the soul, exteriorized in three-dimensional space.” YearsRealSoulMatterLastsHumanityThreeBeliefSpaceAnimalTechnologyFiveObjectsMaterialsDegreesLowsHundredToolsSkinsUltimateOrganizationSpeciesFlyingTechnologicalPsychicsJewelryFiltersEmbeddedReefsSpace ShuttleFlying Saucers Book:True Hallucinations: And, the Archaic Revival Source: True Hallucinations: And, the Archaic Revival
