vintage wise Barthes
when we do not know why it has been taken
what motive and interest is there in photographing a lamp and a tree
or a man from a distance
or another lamp hanging from the ceiling;
then the photograph becomes 'surprising'.

'I am an eye. A mechanical eye. I, the machine, show you a world the way only I can see it..
I free myself for today and forever from human immobility. I’m in constant movement.
I approach and pull away from objects. I creep under them. I move alongside a running horse’s mouth.
I fall and rise with the falling and rising bodies. This is I, the machine, maneuvering in the chaotic movements, recording one movement after another in the most complex combinations. Freed from the boundaries of time and space,
I co-ordinate any and all points of the universe, wherever I want them to be.
My way leads towards the creation of a fresh perception of the world.
Thus I explain in a new way the world unknown to you.' 1923, Dziga Vertov

'My crystal ball has hard-drive issues and sadly there are no predictions for me this month. Hopefully those fucking mouth-breathing nerds at Apple's 'Genius Bar' will sort it out by November'.
something on political art
by Adrian Piper: ' A work of art can innovate in many ways (...) with the foundations of unrestrained free-market capitalism:(...) it can call into question the fundamental values of consumption. Art that satirise desire or sexuality or wealth or technology, or that calls attention to alternative value systems that oppose or reject these, or that requires criteria of aesthetic evaluation that are incompatible with them, or that invokes utopian social ideals of fairness and equality would exemplify such work.'
