I have said this before and will repeat it again as long as I am able to talk: if we do not develop adequate images we will die out like dinosaurs.
=Werner Herzog
I think the same thing is true of sounds. But the Herzog quote is pretty intense - and I tend to agree on the extreme side of it, that the symbolic arts should be considered an essential offering to humankind.
But on the subject of images, I post one of my favorite all-time movie images via YouTube - the great leveler of digital compression and quality.
Scene from Mirror by Andrei Tarkovsky
