Kamand Kojouri
“I became an artist because I wanted to be an active participant in the conversation about art.”
Kamand Kojouri

Marshall McLuhan
“the key to any kind of applied knowledge is the translation of a complex of relations into explicit visual terms. The alphabet itself as applied to the complex of the spoken word translates speech into a visual code that can be uniformly spread and transported. Print had given an intensity to this latent process that was a virtual educational and economic take-off.”
Marshall McLuhan, The Gutenbery Galaxy
