Culkin asks about the "put-on" and McLuhan responds with the "mask" motif (only way to be a "star") ("holds the mirror up to Nature")
49:23
Parker adds more about the Gandaran slide (the addition of "the Western story-telling, psychological connectives [arms move to arms, hands touch hands, a whole building up]" in the ancient East)
50:41
Parker says the electronic age emphasizes "separate units with no connections/intervals and abrasions" (like Oriental Art)
51:17
McLuhan adds "the tendency of Oriental art is not to connect anything to anything but to isolate the form meditatively"
