"In the future, the greatest artists will be mute. They will be the one's building platforms for others to express themselves!"

"While in film school I theorized about the differences between film and video. In the mid-1900s, Sinatra’s “sound” epitomized the tube radio aesthetic; later, Elvis Presley’s shown brightest through a transistor. Just as FILM has its own aesthetic, so must VIDEO. Every age has its particular meaning, its point-of-view. Each period has masters who excel in the specific technology of their time. Decades later, I am still in wonderment over the beauty of emerging technology and art.”

-Ann Greenberg

"The Torah contains the stories told throughout Millennia. We read them over and over again, year after year. We rewind the scroll and hit repeat, again and again. Why? Because every year we change." Every time we hear a passage, it is as anew — our relationship to the material changes as a function of our evolving age, experiences, and abilities.

The annual layering anchors our past interpretations to our current impressions. Our awareness hovers between our past and present selves, and all the iterations of being, in-between. They call Jews the people of the book. But, actually, we are the people of the spiral story.”

​-Ann Greenberg, 2002
