I think it is very important to know how to listen. If you know how to listen, you will get to the root of the matter immediately. If you listen to pure sound, you have immediate contact with the beauty of it. Similarly, if you knew how to listen to what another is saying or to what is being said, there would be an immediate transformation, an immediate change. After all, listening is the complete focussing of attention. You think that attention is a tiresome thing, that to learn to concentrate is a drawn out process; but if you know how to listen, then it is not so difficult; because then you will see that you get to the heart of the matter immediately with an extraordinary understanding.[more]

Jean-PierreBeauviala+Jean-LucGodard.
Camera Obscura Vol. 5, No. 13/14 (Spring-Summer 1985): 163-193.
We are reprinting this discussion between Jean-Pierre Beauviala and Jean-Luc Godard because it represents one of the most unusual exchanges on the relationship between aesthetics and technology that we have seen. It is highly unlikely that an interview witht his kind of emotional tenor would ever find its way into a journal like AMERICAN CINEMATOGRAPHER, for example, even though it is concerned throughout with the development of a new 35mm camera and its potential uses. Jeane-Pierre Beauviala is responsible for a series of inventions that resulted in the Aaton 16mm camera, nicknamed "the cat" because of the way it is designed to balance on the shoulder (hence the references to the camera as an animal); the perfection of super-16 (made to be blown up to 35mm without image distortion); and the PALUCHE, which is referred to frequently in the discussion below. The PALUCHE is a small video camera that is held in the hand like a microphone or a flashlight. Because of its size and mobility, the PALUCHE becomes an extension of the hand rather than the eye.(--more).

Earlier this summer David Bowie went to meet the rarely interviewed and enigmatic Balthus. Here is Bowie's account of their extraordinary meeting.

The drive to Rossiniére becomes increasingly psycho-gradient as one ascends the mountain passes towards Gstaad. The pressure of local traffic, front and especially rear, forces a breakneck speed around hairpin bends. An interior vision of tree-lined mach 2 straight stretches punctuated every 30 seconds by corner hugging skid-death.|more|
