Also minimalism is a term that all of us who share so little in common and who are lumped together as minimalists are not terribly happy with.

I think 'Tron' is a good example of minimalism.

Minimalism has a connotation of being reductive, and not in the best way. 'Brevetist' is a better term. I'm trying to be as concise as possible and still getting across to the reader. When information is delivered in that way, it is very satisfying to me.

Minimalism now is a reaction to what came before. It's absolutely of its time. Music moved into the set theory thing, and moved out of it.

Minimalism seems closest to the sophisticated storytelling of movies. Movies have really educated contemporary audiences to be the most intelligent, sophisticated audiences in history. We don't any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves.

The Minimalists are idealist. They want to minimize themselves in favor of the ideal... But I just can't. You see, my paintings are not cool.

There are very few things impossible in themselves; and we do not want means to conquer difficulties so much as application and resolution in the use of means.

I'm interested in locating the holy grail of the minimum means to express the most complex ideas.
