BEYOND ONTOLOGY

When we say expanded cinema we actually mean expanded
consciousness. Expanded cinema does not mean computer films,
video phosphors, atomic light, or spherical projections. Expanded
cinema isn't a movie at all: like life it's a process of becoming, man's
ongoing historical drive to manifest his consciousness outside of his
mind, in front of his eyes. One no longer can specialize in a single
discipline and hope truthfully to express a clear picture of its
relationships in the environment. This is especially true in the case of
the intermedia network of cinema and television, which now functions
as nothing less than the nervous system of mankind. The prevailing messages of the so-called popular media have lost their relevance because a socioeconomic system
that substitutes the profit motive for use value separates man from
himself and art from life. When we're enslaved to any system, the
creative impulse is dulled and the tendency to imitate increases.
Thus arises the phenomenon of commercial entertainment distinct
from art, a system of temporarily gratifying, without really fulfilling,
the experiential needs of an aesthetically impoverished culture.
The mass public insists on entertainment over art in order to
escape an unnatural way of life in which interior realities are not
compatible with exterior realities. Freedom, says Brown, is fusion.
Life becomes art when there's no difference between what we are
and what we do. Art is a synergetic attempt at closing the gap
between what is and what ought to be. Jacob Bronowski has
suggested that we "ought to act in such a way that what is true can
be verified to be so."
