John Isaacs "Glass Eye... Glass Soul"
Museum 52
This event has ended.
"If it is at all possible to offer an exact reproduction of the world, a universal facsimile, then all questions of the imagination would be answered. Though it would appear that this is the outwardly apparent utopia of objective practices, human history is one built on the intellectual need to both clarify and obscure; with each step taken towards a “truth” faltering within the confines of technical objectives and the inbuilt mechanism of our own physical and mental biology. There are of course windows, moments in which the light
shines through, illuminating the world momentarily in such clarity that we can at least believe it to be more than a vision, but this aspiration dissolves as quickly as it appears. We are left then walking through a landscape built of the rubble of our history lying on the foundations of our dreams."
Prof. Frederick Van Der Greier - Die Welt in der Wir Leben.
