TIME-BASED MEDIA RESEARCH AND DOCUMENTATION
Pertinent Quotes (for future reference)

“A cinema without movement was better able to apprehend time – and, more importantly, our perception of time. Or, in a word, memory.”
- Guillaume Ollendorff. “The Art of Sorting Out: Chris Marker’s Immemory”.

“You are born only once. You die only once. The most important things happen only once. A human being has an essential yearning or angst for the nonrepeatable.”
- p.125, Stooss & Kelein, eds. Video Time – Video Space.

On the difficulty with and lack of documentation historically of performance art:
“It was overlooked because it often fit no category, and unexamined because this material could no longer be seen, only described.”
- p.9, Goldberg, RoseLee. Performance.

"And it is the spectator who is the real sculptor in the void, who reads the book between its lines."
-Jean-Paul Sartre
