Where, then, does the RE:MIX idea lead us? This, of course, nobody knows, but it is fascinating to speculate about its ultimate fate. One can imagine a vast network of future RE:MIXES covering an ever-increasing range of natural phenomena with ever-increasing accuracy; a network which will contain fewer and fewer unexplained features, deriving more and more of its structure from the mutual consistency of its parts.

A.2.02.A
Some day, then, a point will be reached where the RE:MIX will no longer be able to express its results in words, or in rational concepts, and will thus go beyond cinema.

A.1.03.A
Instead of a RE:MIX theory of cinema, it will become a RE:MIX sound/vision of cinema, transcending the realms of thought and language; leading out of the cinema and into the world of acintya, the unthinkable.

RE:MIXES have an auto-hypnotic function.

B.10.02.www
The prime characteristic of the RE:MIXER is that he does not tell a story.

The RE:MIX discards with the subject; there is no “I” for the spectator to I-dentify with.

B.8.04
The RE:MIX may be likened to a hall of mirrors, endlessly reflecting its anti-eschatalogical celebration of form for form’s sake.

B.7.05
RE:MIXES are never finished. Their highest aspirations are anti-judgemental.

B.6.0666
RE:MIXES always beg the question: when may we begin again?

The RE:MIX is what emerges when the machine haunts the ghost.

B.3.08
The closest a RE:MIX gets to once upon a time is always now.

B.2.09
The RE:MIXES of value always invoke deja-vu.

B.1.10
RE:MIXING is addictive.

C.8.00
The moment of the RE:MIX is superluminal.

C.7.01
It arrives before it was sent.

C.6.023
The RE:MIX is never on time.

C.4’33’’
Its time is a perpetuum mobile of memories of what happens next.

C.3.40
The RE:MIX is Zarathustra’s Eternal Recurrence, vibrating fast enough for your ears to see it and slow enough for your eyes to hear it.
C.2.05
A true RE:MIX is best regarded as already existing before it has been composed: with editing as the act of deducing its entirety from a single key phrase/sample/fragment that swims into the RE:MIXER’s mind.

C.1.06
RE:MIXES have an auto-hypnotic function.
