Some damn-fool exhibition of 'art' in London has a bare room with white walls and a light switching itself on/off at intervals of a few seconds. MY taste is definitely the enemy of this sort of 'art'! The guy who came up with this one is laughing his socks off, imo. What is artistic about switching a light on/off in a bare room with blank walls? If this is art, I'm a Philistine! There might be some value in it if there were objects in there, and lights came on from different angles to create varied shadow-effects, but as it is.....

'Modernist' art Fljotsdale. There is an ideology behind such work.
