wow, that looks terrible. I'm adblocking it

Now, on to better, greener pastures... This thing really stretches the definition of modern art, but I'm completely enamored of it. Some architect built a bunch of puzzels and cyphers into his house in NYC. I'm astounded, it reminds me of MYST.

I'm posting pics, but its absolutely worth a read.

I don't "get it"

Are you actually meant to with modern art?

 

[Dave]

Post-modern = (apporximately) 'weird for the sake of weird'. So in many cases there isn't much to get. If it looks good, then it's good. Modernist art is a bit older and is closer to 'weird to try and answer an unanswerable question'.

/me prepares to get a new one torn by Pander Bear. Duck and cover!
