I'm not especially interested in the job of the historian or journalist of trying to figure out what was true and what was not.

...there's no reason why scholarship can't be as seriously playful as bubble-blowing.

We are not evolved really very well to be able to understand or to be able to work with and grapple with technologies that we have.

I think that as a society as well, we need to be smart about what technologies we take up and how construe progress.

I select my technology based on what I need and I also don't take up what I don't feel that I need.

I don't know whether what I do is art. But making things out in the world and having as many conversations as possible.

I don't have a cell phone. I am not a Luddite.

[Buckminster] Fuller said that everything at the time was basically a horse and buggy in the form of an automobile and it had that boxiness and basically aeronautics hadn't been invented.

I think it was impossible not to come upon a lot of confabulation simply because any good scholarship that has been done since [Buckminster Fuller] death has really delved in that.

You have the insanity that is geo-engineering which is a case in which you say the planet is heating up. Let's spray some aerosol and cool it down.

It's essential for me to be working on a nonfiction sort of research project simultaneous with multiple projects that are in different realms of art practice or not.

Most people really don’t know what they want

A child can live with anything as long as he or she is told the truth and is allowed to share with loved ones the natural feelings people have when they are suffering.

Be happy, talk happiness. Happiness calls out responsive gladness in others. There is enough sadness in the world without yours.

It is the answers, not the questions, that are embarrassing.

My mother died when I was five, and all I did was sit and cry. I cried and cried and cried all day, until the neighbors went away.

Hunger also changes the world - when eating can't be a habit, then neither can seeing.

I've actually done a lot of comedy.

When I want something, I want it now, and Daft Punk taught me to be more patient.

I'm the sort of person who likes to undo everything.

The men in Vietnam weren't allowed to fight the war with any kind of concern to win by the government. It was like a war of attrition.
