A brief, pithy discussion about why we're choosing to see the world this way. Why? you ask. Because it is joyful, affirmative of this life, healthy. And then we read the beginning of Bergson's Matter and Memory. And look at an image or two.

Proffering the very odd relationship between the material and the affective.

When we see images, a space is forged between and amongst ourselves and the image: the space is created right then and there. An image is not a mnemonic. A bit more on Jl Godard's Contempt and Wes Anderson's Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

We watch the opening of Godard's Contempt and see the seeing of the camera seeing the seeing of Bardot's body.

We look at some images.

We watch the beginning of The Life Aquatic, which I interrupt often to comment on.
