[The residual purpose of art is] PURPOSELESS PLAY. This play, however is an affirmation of life – not an attempt to bring order out of chaos nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply a way of waking uo to the very life we’re living, which is so excellent once one gets one’s mind and one’s desired out of the way and lets it act of its own accord. – John Cage (in 2008 Keri Smith)
