The Projective Cast, Robin Evans

“(...) William Ivins described why he believed that space was created by hand: “Tactually, things exist in a series of heres in space, but where there are no things, space, even though ‘empty,’ continues to exist, because the exploring hand knows that it is in space even when it is in contact with nothing.” (...) Moreover, the soft, variously sensitive surfaces of the human body considered as a haptic organ stretched judgments of metric equivalence into anamorphoses.” (From 'The Projective Cast', Conclusion – The Projective Cast, by Robin Evans, page 352)
