“I make technology ridiculous.”

“Without electricity, there can be no art.”

“Someday, artists will work with capacitors, resistors, and semiconductors as they work today with brushes, violins, and junk.”

“Cyberspace. A new continent in our imagination.”

“As the collage technique replaced oil paint, the cathode ray tube will replace the canvas.”

“Television has been attacking us all our lives, now we can attack it back.”

“There is no rewind button for the BETAMAX of life.”

“I am a poor man from a poor country, so I have to be entertaining.”

“The real issue is not contemporary art, but the essence of art.”

“If you are a media artist, you can be a lazy person.”
