“Everybody will be doing it, everybody will be living inside a TV studio. That’s what the domestic home aspires to these days; the home is going to be a TV studio. We’re all going to be starring in our own sit-coms, and they’ll be strange sit-coms, too, like the inside of our heads. That’s going to come, I’m absolutely sure of that, and it’ll really shake up everything…” J.G. Ballard, quoted in ‘Interview with JGB by Andrea Juno and Vale’, RE/Search No. 8/9, 1984.

…The death of a futurist is always a strange thing, losing access to all the possibilities they saw, to their perspective on our collective future. Limited access is still possible, of course, through the arcane procedures of interpretation. This is cold comfort, though. Interpretation can, necessarily, only yeild ideas colored by our own perceptions, our associations, ham-strung by our particular paradigms. Surely, as always, the world will go on, but now with more limited options, whole avenues closed off to us because we lack the vision. We’re lucky to have had him as long as we did.
