Passive Cable Theory

Famous quotes containing the words passive, cable and/or theory:

“To make oneself an object, to make oneself passive, is a very different thing from being a passive object.”

“To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.”

“It is not enough for theory to describe and analyse, it must itself be an event in the universe it describes. In order to do this theory must partake of and become the acceleration of this logic. It must tear itself from all referents and take pride only in the future. Theory must operate on time at the cost of a deliberate distortion of present reality.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
