The Quantum's Slipper (1984) by Arakawa

Arakawa

The Quantum's Slipper, 1984

Description


Unique entrances into exactly X, in which something happens, then something happens and something happens…


“And is that what you need?”


“It could save me decades!” “As far as what?”


“As far as how to fight off languor so as to be able to conduct more precisely an individual cosmos, for one thing… gigantic.”


“These are operational, these paintings, are they?”


“Oh, very much so, functional, definitely.”


“But are they paintings? Of what? For what?”


“Better let them inform of this themselves [of all paintings in the world these are some which can do that!], and once beyond that what comes next has not yet been determined, not yet by anyone, although Arakawa and Tom S. Drover are, of course, continuing in that vein – or to mix… still stringing telephone wire or.”


“Something to do with how to be spacetime, I presume.” “Oh, one can never presume too much when dealing with atmospheric pressure.” “My dear cosmos, articulations of lightspace – trickles of this which have become lines… but let’s stop here.”
