I began demonstrating against serious culture. In hindsight, the actual course of events has been very humiliating for me, because no one picked up on the intellectual critique I made.

When somebody says that all statements are false, the obvious problem is that as an assertion it's self-defeating.

I began composing works which were imitative of the music I was being told about. I was also very interested in translating the music into visual terms.

I'm actually a great fan of lucidity.

Basically, at this time, I viewed any work of art as an imposition of another person's taste and saw the individual making this imposition as a kind of dictator.
