Don't miss the chance to, as the artist puts it, “take the blindfold of rationalism off and enjoy the unknown”!

Thrilled to see the pub of this wonderful book, feat. my new essay “Illusions, of Necessity”: Paul Sharits’ Quantum Affinities," in which I offer one of the first attempts to apply quantum theory to the study of experimental film via A. Michelson's writing + the works of Sharits.
