Jacques Derrida

Algeria born French philosopher Jacques Derrida (15 July 1930 – 8 October 2004) is known for his deconstruction technique. Below is an embedded movie by Amy Ziering Kofman.

Some quotes from him:
"To pretend, I actually do the thing: I have therefore only pretended to pretend."

"In Algeria, I had begun to get into literature and philosophy. I dreamed of writing-and already models were instructing the dream, a certain language governed it."

"Every discourse, even a poetic or oracular sentence, carries with it a system of rules for producing analogous things and thus an outline of methodology."

"I have always had trouble recognizing myself in the features of the intellectual playing his political role according to the screenplay that you are familiar with and whose heritage deserves to be questioned."

Yann Novak, sound artist

"Each of my works is an investigation into presentation, composition and perception, not just to be heard, but to be felt. By creating situations the audience can relate to, a hybrid state is created, existing somewhere between my own personal history and that of the audience." --Yann Novak
