Algumas citações de O riso de Bergson, a título de comentário ao visionamento dos filmes de Buster Keaton…
“A expressão cómica do rosto é aquela que não promete mais do que aquilo que patenteia. É uma máscara única e definitiva. Dir-se-ia que toda a vida moral do indivíduo cristalizou naquele sistema. E é por isso que uma cara é tanto mais cómica quanto melhor nos sugere a ideia de qualquer acção simples, mecânica, em que a personalidade ficasse para sempre condensada”.

Stumbling Over/Upon Art
Dario Gamboni
“Chance in art” can mean many different things, so numerous and so varied that one may be tempted to dismiss the term as a misnomer or a lexical straw man, like so many adherents to the notion of divine or natural causality have done in the past: “Chance seems to be only a term, by which we express our ignorance of the cause of any thing.”1 But there may be a plane on which at least some of these meanings and forms meet and which can illuminate them—this essay will attempt to locate it.
