Godfrey Reggio

“It's not that we use technology, we live technology.”

“Our language is not spoken, it is filmed. It is a language of image.”

“For me, the film is not an art form. It's a new form of life.”

“The most political thing you can do is be a-political.”

“We’re all transfixed by the spectacle of the mega-event. We have become the audience of our own annihilation.”

“The real star of Koyaanisqatsi is the viewer.”

“I see my films as an experience, not as a story.”

“Technology has become the new environment of life. It’s the house we live in.”

“I don't think I am making a judgment. I am just holding up a mirror.”

“My intention is to offer a prism, so that people see according to their own lights.”

“The subject of the film is the audience.”

“We are the mass, we are the living technology.”

“I'm not an environmentalist. I'm a student of the environment.”

“What's most powerful is what is not said.”

“The logic of the machine is the new logic of life.”

“Art is not a uniter, it's a divider.”

“The effect of the film is to put the audience in a state of hypnosis.”
