Illusions as bad as mine make people aware of the fallacies of visual information and the pleasure to be derived from such fallacies.

I think I'm an ambitious artist but you have to understand the measure of your influence on people. You're not going to change people's lives with your art. What you do is you give them a little pat so that you change the course of the direction that they're going.

I'm not creating art that starts with politics or starts with ethics. I feel I am a conceptual artist because my art is more concerned with epistemology than ethics or politics or even aesthetics.

The great challenge is how to make smart, intelligent art that can speak to everybody.

If you find an idea without form, please let me know because I would love to take a picture of it.

It's not about fooling somebody, it's actually giving somebody a measure of their own belief: how much you want to be fooled. That's why we pay to go to magic shows and things like that.
