Hans Jonas
“Blind nature will nearly always select the most probable, but man can let the most improbable become actual.”
Hans Jonas

“Aestheticism is the garbage of intuitive feeling.”
Kazimir Severinovich Malevich

“Being a painter, I ought to say why in pictures people's faces are painted green and red.”
Kazimir Severinovich Malevich

“Man, as a form, bears within him the eternal principle of being, and by economic movement along his endless path his form is also transformed, just as everything that lives in nature was transformed in him.”
Kazimir Severinovich Malevich

“Collaborations are the black holes of knowledge regimes. They willingly produce nothingness, opulence and ill behavior. And it is their very vacuity that is their strength...It does not entail the transmission of something from those who have to those who do not, but rather the setting in motion of a chain of unforeseen accesses.”
Florian Schneider
