A little trivia.
The last scene from the documentary directed by Shane Meadows
about The Stone Roses' reunion concert tour.
The Stone Roses - Fools Gold
Introduction read by William S Burroughs:
Camera and recorder, within range of limits, can photograph
and record without selection or distortion from a point of zero
interference.
The camera achieves a nirvana of uncritical acceptance.
It rejects nothing, it clings to nothing.
It fears nothing, it desires nothing.
It hates nothing, it loves nothing.
Camera and recorder are crude models of your own built
in equipment. You have all the screens you can fill and
all the projectors you need.
So turn the zero camera on yourself. Action! Camera!
Right in the middle of the middle screen.

Alternative quote by William S Burroughs:
Camera and recorder, within range of limits, can photograph and
record without selection or distortion from a point of zero
interference. The camera achieves a nirvana of uncritical
acceptance. It rejects nothing, it clings to nothing, it fears nothing,
it desires nothing. It hates nothing, it loves nothing. Camera and
recorder are crude models of your own built in equipment.
You can make your own movies from a point of zero interference.
Once you stop interfering, the movies move themselves. Why pay
black mail at the box office? Why not make your own
movies? You have all the screens you can fill and all the projectors
you need. So turn the zero camera on yourself, you never see
anything else anyway.
