Cage

When we separate music from life what we get is art (a compendium of masterpieces). With contemporary music, when it is actually contemporary, we have no time to make that separation (which protect us from living), and so contemporary music is not so much art as it is life and any one making it no sooner finished one of it than he begins making another just as people keep on washing dishes, brushing teeth, getting sleepy, and so on. —from “Composition as Process”, Silence (1961) by John Cage.

Pale Flower

This is a screen shot from the film, Pale Flower (1964), by Masahiro Shinoda. It is available in instant view on Netflix, however, Criterion is releasing it soon. The speedometer is in kph, so they’re only going about 60 mph.

The purpose of this posting is that this is a perfect dashboard display for me as the two things I have been thinking about is gas and water. This is such a simple and clear display.
