The Monolith Mystery

"The Mystery of Brick Space" —

Okay, so our first clue
0:35
comes from the movies. You've got
0:37
Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, 2001: A 
0:39
Space Odyssey. And this … this bizarre
0:42
black monolith just shows up. It's this
0:45
object of perfect almost unsettling
0:47
geometry that always signals some huge
0:50
leap in evolution. And what's really
0:52
wild is that while Kubrick was filming
0:53
this, minimalist artists like John
0:55
McCracken were creating nearly identical
0:57
sculptures totally independently of the
1:00
film.

Film director Christopher Nolan at Princeton on June 1, 2015:

“In these graduation speeches, generally, you have the
speaker say something along the lines of, ‘You need to
chase your dreams,’ ” Nolan said. “But I’m not going to
say that because I don’t believe it. I don’t want you to
chase your dreams. I want you to chase your realities.
And I want to say: Don’t chase your realities at the
expense of your dreams, but as the foundation of your
dreams.”

"If you have built castles in the air, 
your work need not be lost;
that is where they should be.
Now put the foundations under them.”

— Henry David Thoreau
