Meditation Media
The foundation of meditation is respiration. Respiration rhythm can be consciously controlled, but even without a conscious effort it will not stop. This sort of peculiarity is a door to the unconscious. I can sense something similar when looking at live action images such as photography, television and film. A different mental state from viewing paintings and animation, characters and symbols, or real scenery is involved in such media. That is in the dual sense - by attempting to immerse oneself in the image world, one simultaneously recognizes its artificiality. This century's live image expression has been produced as a media for accessing the core of viewers' bodies.
