Attensity!, 174: "The artist is a person who attends, in a particular way, with particular charisma or dilignece, with particular tools and temporalities. The work of art is the result or the effect or the evidence of this attending."
"The works of art that last [...] are not just 'made from' attention; they create attentional situations. They convene attention, engage it, and priduce in us (when they work, when we work) attentional trances that come from where they came from--and reach out in rings well beyond that point of origin. What does the work of art say? Attention can be contagious caring."
