Reading from p70-p111

Millions of scientists invent and experiment multiple technological device  at every moment, but fated, human always has to wait until our consciousness caught up with our technology. Youngblood stated his viewpoint "The artist as design scientist" in the chapter, and in the following chapter, he thought TV showed the human race itself as a working model of itself, which reminds me one of Nam June Paik's design, a buddha sitting on a desk faced with a television which screen showing the picture of that buddha took by a camera, in a closed circuit.

Indeed,  on the macrostructural level all television was a closed circuit that constantly turns us back upon ourselves, the reality is so closed that virtually forces cinema to move beyond the objective human condition into newer extra-objective territory. Therefore, cinema and cinema experiment's explorers, are full of intuitive, tentative and un daunted cinematic spirit in their life-long developments.
Some classic clips were analysed and Youngblood not mention that film was a documentary of the filmmakers own perception at once, now look at our contemporary society, we keep alleging that the newest style of design comes out but actually binding ourselves into an inertia thinking model prison, combining with multiple luring benefits and few comes back to the real art.
All in all, Realism, surrealism, constructivism and expressionism are clearly categorised into cinema field, but what really needs to be classified is our consciousness that whether is truly understand our destination.
