Technology is not neutral.

Technology has become as ubiquitous as the air we breathe, so we are no longer conscious of its presence.

I think it's naive to pray for world peace if we're not going to change the form in which we live.

So, not for lack of love of language, but because I feel our language is in an enormous state of humiliation, I decided to make films without words.

It is very easy to make clear what you want a film to say, but I did not wish to engage in overt propaganda, even for the right cause. I wanted to create an experience through the films, something where people could have the freedom of their own response to them.

What I’m trying to show is that the main event today is not seen by those of us that are living it… So it’s not the effect of [technology], it is that everything exists with-in [its milieu]. It's not that we use technology, we live technology. Technology has become as ubiquitous as the air we breathe, so we are no longer conscious of its presence.

But in fact if you look at film as a metaphor, only through the negative can you have the positive print. What I'm trying to get to is the positive value of negation.
