J. G. Ballard Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: November 15, 1930 - April 19, 2009
Birthday: November 15
Death: April 19
Art is the principal way in which the human mind has tried to remake the world in a way that makes sense. The carefully edited, slow-motion, action replay of a rugby tackle, a car crash or a sex act has more significance than the original event. Thanks to virtual reality, we will soon be moving into a world where a heightened super-reality will consist entirely of action replays, and reality will therefore be all the more rich and meaningful.
