Brian Eno: What I really like doing is what I call Import and Export. I like taking ideas from one place and putting them into another place and seeing what happens when you do that.
Jean-Luc Godard: It's not where you take things from -- it's where you take them to.
Diana Kimball: A one-word intention -- "Cake" -- could lead to a thousand rabbit holes; a wordless traversal of everything you've ever hoped for. Emerging from the lucid dream of visual search, you see a gridded still life symbolizing the future you didn't know you wanted.
Rob Horning: More than just affording us serial opportunities to try to pin down the meanings of things, Pinterest invites us to view all the images the internet offers as advertisements. We are asked to scrutinize them for the bundle of affects they might contain, and then to perform the work that will liberate those qualities and allow them to circulate more freely as detached signifieds. It permits us to let an accumulative, shopping mentality govern everything we do online.
Ravi Somaiya: The magazine will feature visual artists, with their work dotted through the pages, in part because research revealed that younger people are drawn to art.
