McLuhan Institute 3C/ti 3E 3C/i 3E, and 3Ci 3E 3Cti 3ESaturday Review (McLuhan)

 

[E]nvironments reset our sensory threshold. These, in turn, alter our outlook and expectations.... We have no reason to be grateful to those who juggle the thresholds in the name of haphazard innovation....

The artist provides us with anti-environments that enable us to see the environment....

There is no inevitability as long as there is a willingness to contemplate what is happening.
-- Marshall McLuhan. The Relation of Environment to Anti-Environment. (November, 1965) McLuhan Institute, and Saturday Review (March 18, 1967).
