: This is very rich territory. Just who - or what - is paying attention here? I think Duchamp spent a lot of time playing with the received idea of the transcendent cogito. You touch on Sartres' 'Being and Nothingness'...but the section in this book on the voyeur - looking through the keyhole - and becoming aware of becoming subjectised(?) by the presence of the other you do not mention, Bill. Is this not also a key to understanding an aspect of 'Etant Donnes', for example? In other words, we always, but falteringly, 'attend' to our own attention. (See you on the 14th November at Tate Modern).
