Why Nothing Matters | The Art of JOHN CAGE and SAMUEL BECKETT
What does nothing sound like? For John Cage and Samuel Beckett, it became a mission of their careers to find out. Cage’s composition ’4’ 33“’ and Beckett’s ’Waiting for Godot’ are two of the most significant works of the twentieth century, known for their explorations of silence. In this video, we’ll examine the philosophy behind them, and how nothing can actually mean something.
