Things I Like

'It is hard to look closely at a lover's skin with optical vision; it is hard to drive a car with haptic vision.'-
Laura U. Marks, Touch: Sensuous Theory and Multisensory Media

'A space that has been lived in is not an inert box. Inhabited space transcends geometric space.' - Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space

'A palpable, sensuous connection between the perceiver and the perceived.' - Michael Taussig, Mimesis and Alterity

'Everything in the Universe has a rhythm, everything dances' - Maya Angelou

'What’s needed perhaps is finally to found our own anthropology, one that will speak about us, will look in ourselves for what for so long we’ve been pillaging from others. Not the exotic anymore, but the endotic....What we need to question is bricks, concrete, glass, our table manners, our utensils, our tools, the way we spend our time, our rhythms. To question that which seems to have ceased forever to astonish us. We live, true, we breathe, true; we walk, we open doors, we go down staircases, we sit at a table in order to eat, we lie down on a bed in order to sleep. How? Why? Where? When? Why?' - Georges Perec, The Infra-Ordinary
