Translated out of the critical haze that post modernists use to deceive
themselves into thinking they're saying something, what Crandall is saying
is that in order to see something (film, computer art, dokumenta) you have
to go there and look at it, and are subject to the human condition that
eyes are directional and mounted on a tripod (unlike ears which are
omnnidirectional). But this isn't very interesting and is a complaint
about how we're made, not the aesthetics that responds to the fact that
we're made that way and not some other way. Isn't going to get us very
far, I'm afraid....
