“At one point cinema and photography weren't treated as art. Now it's crazy to think they're not. The key question is "What is art today?" The most important artists of the last 20 years are Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive, because the influence they have had is incredible and they've changed the world. That is art.” ThinkingWorldYearsArtImportantTodayJobsLastsArtistCrazyInfluenceChangedKeysPhotographyIncrediblesTreatedCinema Author:Ferran Adria

“Critics are giving marks for originality, acting, photography and scripting, while mass audiences are more drawn to familiarity of genre, stars they would like to have sex with or plots that are more likely to make their dates have sex with them. Reviewers are doing their day's work, cinema-goers are escaping from theirs: this leads to an inevitable difference of response. It is, though, wrong to conclude that reviewers are completely useless. Books, movies and shows may be critic-proof, but the egos and psyches of the people who make them very rarely are.” PeopleGivingMayBookShowsStarsSexDifferencesActingAudienceEgoPhotographyMassMarkResponseCriticsProofInevitableUselessGenreCinemaPlotOriginalityFamiliarityEscapingReviewersPsych Author:Mark Lawson
“The world of the cinema and of painting are very different; precisely, the possibilities of photography and the cinema reside in that unlimited fantasy which is born of things themselves... a piece of sugar can become on the screen larger than an infinite perspective of gigantic buildings.” WorldDifferentBornFantasyPiecesPossibilityBuildingPaintingPerspectivePhotographyInfiniteScreensCinemaSugarUnlimited Author:Salvador Dali
“3D is very exciting. I love it. I'm a complete convert. Everything for me, from now on, is 3D. I'm completely convinced it's the future of home entertainment, as well as cinema entertainment. I think it's a paradigm shift, in terms of cinema, and those things don't happen very often. The introduction of sound, the introduction of color photography and now 3D have been the big shifts. They happen once every 40 or 50 years, so it's very exciting to be a filmmaker, working while one of them is happening.” ThinkingYearsWellsHas BeensHomeBigsHappensSoundTermColorPhotographyHappeningsExcitingEntertainmentConvincedCinemaFilmmakerIntroductionParadigmParadigm ShiftColor Photography Author:Paul W.

“[X-ray's] accidental discovery in the late 1800s fits seamlessly into modernity's fascination with, and belief in, the power of technological transparency: the desire to domesticate time (cinema), to preserve and capture the surface of the fleeting (photography), to see inside (x-ray).” DesireBeliefFitLatePhotographyDiscoverySurfacePreservesCinemaCaptureRaysTechnologicalFleetingFascinationTransparencyModernity Author:Walead Beshty
