“What does a scanner see? he asked himself. I mean, really see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does a passive infrared scanner like they used to use or a cube-type holo-scanner like they use these days, the latest thing, see into me – into us – clearly or darkly? I hope it does, he thought, see clearly, because I can’t any longer these days see into myself. I see only murk. Murk outside; murk inside. I hope, for everyone’s sake, the scanners do better.”

“In Rosit’s artwork, still lifes and portraits become an exceptionally fitting allegory for the media as it shares paralleling characteristics. Still lifes, and in extension, portraits, have the tendency of being what it is called ‘amusement art’ . . . It does not seek to discover unexplored territories, let alone challenge the status quo. Its purpose is to be nice and inoffensive, a distraction from the issues faced in reality.”
