Bill,
I think that you have to be educated at a certain school, before you can see what all the arty people see!. [Linked Image]

Nice to see we have such a big group of well-adjusted members at ECN who don't get this abstract art stuff either! [Linked Image]

As for me, I can see the art in a nicely wired distribution frame, or a neatly designed printed circuit board, but not the junk they're calling art. Some of the stuff that's been exhibited as "art" in the London galleries in recent years is beyond belief.

I would say some mind altering chemicals would be needed to "see" the art for most of this stuff.

TG,

Saturday Night Live's Bass-O-Matic meets the Art Police. Life is stranger than comedy!

I've frequently noted that the art hipsters have absolutely no sense of humor.

It's funny, the museum's shill says it was an homage to John Chamberlain and then the museum threw it out. Idiots.

It would have been interesting to put both of them side by side to gauge crowd reaction and ATTRACT CUSTOMERS!!

If someone found it, it would have been cool to put in front of an electrician's shop, electrical supply house or something.

There's a hardware store here in town that has a funky looking fountain made out of various household plumbing parts and also a fan manufacturer/seller who has a few little artsy things made out of fan motors, gears, microswitches, lights and gears in the window -- parts that he sells.

Oh well....

Maybe the "artists" can't stand the competition... [Linked Image]

I'd much rather much look at an electrical installation any day of the week than an artistically arranged pile of garbage, or an abstract painting of someone with three eyes (all on the same side of the head, of course). [Linked Image]

I can't help but agree with iwire...mind- altering chemicals would help make some sense out of some of this stuff.
