and the same slogan:
:39:05
"Down with the airport."
:39:08
Only one thing has been added:

My pal Hayao Yamaneko has found a solution:
:39:37

:39:45
pictures that are less deceptive he says—with the conviction of a fanatic—
than those you see on television.
:39:51

images,
:39:54
not the portable and compact form of an already inaccessible reality.

Hayao calls his machine's world the 'zone,' an homage to Tarkovsky.

What Narita brought back to me, like a shattered hologram,
:40:57
was an intact fragment of the generation of the sixties.
