We know that they are… not living beings.
We know that they are projections… on a screen.
We know that they are… ‘miracles’ and tricks of technology, that such beings don’t really exist.
But at the same time:
We sense them as alive.
We sense them as moving.
We sense them as existing and even thinking.
– Sergei Eisenstein
