1. 古埃及的(死者之書)描述死者必須走過一段漫長旅途，在路上會遇到各種怪 獸和關卡，必須依據自己的知識回答問題，其中最重要的是「稱量(心臟)」 的審判。將該器官和象徵真理與正義的(羽毛)置於天平兩端，旁邊是等候食 物的神獸阿米特，與負責記錄審判的文字之神圖特。

1. Michael Rush 在他 2005 年的著作《新媒體藝術》(New Media in Art)一書卷首 開宗明義地表示： One of the characteristic perceptions of twentieth-century art was its persistent tendency to question the long tradition of painting as the privileged medium of representation. Early in the century Braque’s and Picasso’s determination to incorporate everyday material in their paintings (…) was expressive of their struggle to extend the content of the canvas beyond paint. This “struggle with the canvas” pointed the way for scores of twentieth-century artists, from the Russians Malevitch and Tatlin, to Pollock at mi-century, to a painter such as Richard Prince whose abstractions take shape in a computer before they are painted onto the canvas. Abstraction, Surrealism, and Conceptualism, to name but a few twentieth-century forms, all participated in a profound questioning of traditional painting. 請問您是否同意作者的觀點? 請發表你對這段文字的看法。
