Glittering illusions of vectorized providence attempt to emulate an inherited physical realm of diminishing significance.

I believe in the practice and philosophy of what we have agreed to call magic, in what I must call the evocation of spirits, though I do not know what they are, in the power of creating magical illusions, in the visions of truth in the depths of the mind when the eyes are closed; and I believe... that the borders of our mind are ever shifting, and that many minds can flow into one another, as it were, and create or reveal a single mind, a single energy... and that our memories are part of one great memory, the memory of Nature herself. - W.B Yeats, Ideas of Good and Evil

"The ultimate goal is to make the audience believe what they're seeing is real, even though they know it's not." - James Cameron
