each individual image becomes a rorsach test--yes---and television presents a streams of footage that comes to the same thing, but in motion. this is what i was trying to get at in no. 9, but i think i was distracted by something i'm working on so it came out strangely.
the bottom line is that the images of Authority are being entirely collapsed into the world.
what pan seems to want is an Image he can believe in.
but to believe like that, you have to forget it's an image.
i don't see how that's possible---and even if it is, it's certainly not desirable.
it is a little tunnel leading to authoritarian politics.
whence stalin.
