读麦·讲演·作为在电子时代里的继续生存的艺术（1973）·001

I propose to consider art as a liaison between biology and technology, among other things. And I’m going to venture to read a passage from the work of A. T. Simeons, Man’s Presumptuous Brain, which indicates a certain gap in our equipment, for which perhaps the artist was intended to close.

我建议把艺术看作是生物学和技术之间的一种联络关系。我要冒昧地朗读一段A·T·西米恩斯的作品《自行其是的人脑》中的一段话，它表明了我们禀赋上的某个鸿沟，也许艺术家是想要弥补这一鸿沟。

按：艺术表现了人脑和技术之间的一种联络关系。

吊诡的是，作为人身装备的人脑，是不以人的意志为转移的。禀赋，equipment，装备，设备。
