Field Observation – Unstabilization
Unstable Molecules. They exist as a configuration of unknown atomic nuclei and electrons that are responsive to certain energized matter around them. Unstable molecules are typically utilized in fabrics beyond our understandings. It allows the fabric to conform with the wearer’s form and to not succumb to the wearer mutation. Essentially, it acts as an extension of the wearer’s skin.

Wisdom – Stanley Kubrick
“The whole idea that a movie should be seen only once is an extension of our traditional conception of the film as an ephemeral entertainment rather than as a visual work of art. We don’t believe that we should hear a great piece of music only once, or see a great painting once, or even read a great book just once. But the film had until recent years been exempted from the category of art – a situation I’m glad is finally changing.”
-“The Playboy Interview,” Stanley Kubrick on 2001, 1968

Wisdom – Mark Romanek
“In 1960 Stanley Kubrick gave this radio interview around the time that he made ‘Lolita.’ And the interviewer was asking him to suggest ways to improve the film industry for filmmakers and studios and exhibitors. And Kubrick had a number of interesting suggestions. But, at the end he said, ‘And I feel like these are some of the ways that filmmakers can make films that are both more daring and more sincere.’
And that phrase, ‘More daring and more sincere,’ hit me like a ton of bricks. It really struck me as the best definition of what makes something good that I’d ever heard. Is the film an expression about the human predicament that comes from a sincere place? And is it being expressed in a way that’s never been done before or in a way that’s truly daring?”
