I don't see how you can argue with this:
quote:
"Here is just the light, no more no less. Appealingly simple. So different would the walls look with the light on than off.
The art takes place in the moments of transition.
It also captures something of life. How many of us have switched a light on and off, only to have a parent chide that it'll blow the fuse. The effect though is tantalising."
If at least one person finds value in art, it is valid. Same with music. Not everyone "gets it". The key question is, do some?
I find value in it. So obviously did the people putting on the show.
Thus it is art Fljotsdale. Art is a definition unrestricted by taste. That you don't like it doesn't mean it's not art, it means you don't like it.
I have a record by Brian Eno and Robert Fripp.
For twenty minutes the first track consists of ONE HELD NOTE.
It gradually changes.
Most don't get it, some do. Thus it's music, not noise. It effects an emotional and intellectual response.
It doesn't matter whether you agree or not Fljotsdale. [img]smile.gif[/img]
