Fall 2011 - Sand Mandala Installation at Amherst College
First
even post this if there are no visuals it is quite absurd bot to menyion all the fucks who keep coughing and hacking during the lecture
The musician couldn't explain all upnotch
By filming this in a way that doesn't show the slides (full screen would be nice), you really disrespect the whole lecture Dr. Penny is presenting. Maybe try miking the speaker next time, as well, so that every cough and throat clear isn't louder than the person at the microphone. I suggest you watch the Yale art history lectures to see how this is done.
the aesthetics of hoarding
Seems to me that hoarders put a higher value on objects and their relationship with those objects compared to the value they put on relationships and experiences. Perhaps they have had disappointments in their relationships in the past. Objects have meaning and power. They connect people to their history and act as a kind of storyline to the past.
Hoarding is an overwhelming compulsion.
@4:55 for those of you who want avoid the ramblings.
thanks he is my fav artist.
Wonderful presentation !
