----- Do we need to live in reality? -----
So we got Google Maps, Google Streetview; we got Skype; we got Facebook. This internet age is all the rage these days, and I can't blame the folks who are irrevocably attached to it like the 20 year old magnets on my fridge; they just don't let go or fall off. And I'm one of the folks too. I hate it and love it. I mean who else can tell you how to cook a chicken in a duck in a turkey while simultaneously helping you diagnose whether your recent skin rash had anything to do with it. I digress. The story here is: googleartproject.com.
Reality has become a lost friend; stranger is better. What is experience anymore? While the idea is unequivocally brilliant —spread the love of art— I can't help but feel we have pushed ourselves further away from experiencing real experience. Experience used to be an adventure, now it's just a click away.
