Walter Pater's aesthetic project
 

Delany encourages viewers to dig "interest and value" out of "your own relationship to [an] object"
 
"an aesthetic project that goes directly back to the great nineteenth-century critic and fiction writer Walter Pater"
 
"it doesn't originate with Pater. It passes through him. But he's one of the people who brought it to a boil"
