Re: Detecting airborne viruses in the art world. For more information on this see previous post

I tend to focus on the involuntary contribution by the audience who, potentially, become the object of their own fears. But I like this take on it by critic Bill Gusky.

Ang: Att spåra luftburna virus i konstvärlden. För mer information se tidigare inlägg
Jag tenderar att fokusera på hur publiken som ser detta verk själva blir orsaken till sin egen rädsla eftersom det kan vara de som bär in viruset. Man jag gillar följande tolkning av kritiker Bill Gusky.

“I haven’t had time to digest this all, but my initial reaction is that this is one interesting agent. I’ll be getting back to it later, but maybe you’ll have some thoughts or reactions, or maybe you’re totally familiar with Mr. Cuzner’s work and will fill me in on the details.

The idea of detecting viruses in an art museum comes off as pretty funny to me, not having read any further into it. The viral nature of memes, and the capacity of visual art to transmit memes, all play into my initial reaction.

It’s funny to think that an art museum could be so ineffective, so wholly devoted to the obsolete, that one would need a special high-tech detector to tell if anything serious or substantial is going on there.

That’s my two cents; now I’ve got to run a few miles before a big Noreaster blows in.
Let me know what you’re thinking.”
