"In these times of ending and returning postcolonial struggles, postmodern recovery and "green sustainability" (to use some trendy terms), artists working in third intervals, at the margins of mainstream productivity would have to be at once very primitive and very cultured. Awkwardly, efficiently "low" and competently, unfittingly "high"; shuttling effortlessly between the avant- and arriére-garde and surfing in and out from the middle, between all fixed extremities. Socially marginalized, groups could thus be both provocatively high-tech, and defiantly vernacular in their creative moves."
- Rhythm at Play by Trinh T. Minh-ha
