A point of view requires stasis, and that’s not 
involvement. These new media demand that you get 
involved and become part of the action. The TV 
image is not like the film image, it’s not a snapshot, 
it is an actual live vortex in action, and it is, I think, 
behind what we call the happening. The TV itself is a 
kind of happening, technically, and it tends to 
involve people in its own vortex.
