Words of Wisdom

  • … People perceive silence as its own type of “sound”, not just as a gap between noises…”silence is the experience of time passing…an auditory experience of pure time”...”if silence is “not really a sound, and yet it turns out that we can hear it, then evidently, hearing is about more than just sounds.” - Chaz Firestone, cognitive scientist, Johns Hopkins University. The New York Times, July 18, 2023. Silence Is a ‘Sound’ that can be heard, by Bethany Brookshire, Zettel 130

  • “I have to believe I wouldn’t care about as much if it didn’t have an emotional effect,” (Christopher) Nolan said. “There’s a favorite tactic of studio executives, he added, “which is to say, Well, at the end of the day, isn’t it all about story? To which you say, Well, no, otherwise we would be distributing audio books or radio plays. In the last analysis, it is not all about story. It’s about the moving image, it’s about cinematic storytelling, and the greatest movies made could only be films” - New York Times Arts, July 18, 2023. For Some Films, Go Big or Go Home, Many fans will be doing whatever it takes to see ‘Oppenheimer’ projected in IMAX 70 mm, by Marc Tracy, Zettel 131

  • Modern abstract art was predicated on two major advances: the liberation of form and the liberation of color. The Cubists, led by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, liberated form. Since then, modern art has often represented the artist’s subjective vision and state of mind rather than a naturalistic illusion of form based on the outside world. In the modern era it was largely Henri Matisse who liberated color, freeing it from form and thereby demonstrating that colors and color combinations can exert unexpectedly profound emotional effects. Once color was no longer determined by form, a color that might have seemed “wrong” in a particular figurative context would actually be right, because it was used to convey the artist’s inner vision, not to represent a particular object. Moreover, the separation of color from form is consistent with what we know about the anatomy and physiology of the prime visual system: That is form, color, movement, and depth are analyzed separately in the cerebral cortex. - Reductionism in ART and Brain Science, by Eric Kandel, page 143, Zettel 132

  • Our brain processes different colors as having distinct emotional characteristics, but our reaction to the colors varies, depending upon the context in which we see them and our mood. Thus, unlike spoken language, which often has an emotional significance regardless of context, color is open to a great deal more top-down processing. As a result, the same color can mean different things to different people and to the same person in different contexts. - Reductionism in ART and Brain Science, by Eric Kandel, page 144, Zettel 133
