David to Andre:

I liked your writing however how does someone do something 'non-mediated and 
non-intellectual'?

Andre:
Thank you David, It seems to me that what Pirsig is getting at is the non-doing 
that gets the results. Remember the example of Poincare? Remember also the 
learning that Herrigel went through as described in his 'Zen in the Art of 
Archery'? ' Do you now understand', the Master asked me one day after a 
particularly good shot, 'what I mean by 'IT shoots,' IT hits'?'...At this point 
archery, considered the unmoved movement, the undanced dance, passes over into 
Zen' (pp 61 and 65 respectively.

The artist doesn't place the brush...IT (DQ) places the brush. At least this is 
my understanding.
