Art/media/culture/ideas/apps/anything, can be many things, often simultaneously and in contrast with each other. As Rory Sutherland writes - the opposite of a good idea can also be a good idea: “Puppy does what movies do: wows people, makes them stare at one thing for a long time and experience wonder. It sneaks in under their radar, disarming fears of art. In some quintessentially Jeffersonian way, Puppy renders all who see it equal. It is the rare work of art that laymen can talk about with the same confidence and authority as those in the art world” - Jerry Saltz, writing about Jeff Koons: Puppy

Sunday reading recommendation. Long ago when I first learned about the notion of "zen mind; beginner's mind" and then read the Suzuki book/talks, I was struck by the idea that this was a concept that could be applied to . . . well, anything. Everything. It's curiosity. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-colors-of-her-coat

a masterpiece of story and form, using a unique structure (the one shot) to enhance the nuances of 4 or 5 storylines playing within the narrative. Ep 3 may go down as one of the best ever .......

almost 50 years later this sounds no less radical than it must have sounded on national TV in 1978 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHXaa6IRi1I/?igsh=MTJsaDkzNTV6eXJ5cg%3D%3D
