J. G. Ballard Quote

The cine-camera and television set allow us to perceive slow motion. The concept of anything other than real time had never occurred to anybody until the first slow-motion movies were shown, and this radically altered people's perceptions of nature.


As quoted in "some ideas for free from time recording" by Emit Records (1995).
