The media of sameness and separation represent the world in its most religious form - the structuring of the social in images.

Ten minutes in a video store should convince any impartial observer that we live in a police state of consciousness, far more pervasive than the Nazis.

The dullard finds even wine tasteless, while the sorcerer is intoxicated by the mere sight of water.

In short, it occurred to me that perhaps the only possible avant garde is the avant garden.

Provided we can escape from the museums we carry around inside us, provided we can stop selling ourselves tickets to the galleries in our own skulls, we can begin to contemplate an art which re-creates the goal of the sorcerer: changing the structure of reality by the manipulation of living symbols ...

Physical separateness can never be overcome by electronics, but only by 'conviviality,' by 'living together' in the most literal physical sense. The physically divided are also the conquered and the controlled.

Everything else is at best a sort of representation.
