very enlightening.
i can't help but wonder if real art has lost its value in a way.
but no, i know from seeing so many originals that the power of the work in it's original form far eclipses any representation of it.

this was good. i was glued to the screen.

i think both are good. the global accessibily of art is good.
but i still want to go to greece, italy, france,iran,brittain, belgium, germany, china, india, tibet and japan and stand before the work itself.

because i have pictures of the famous 'lohans' and i have stood before two of them at the metropolitan museum of art in new york. and while one is mental the other is a mystical experience. in person, the lohans were alive.

then i came again today. seeing zero comments i couldn't understand that when i read my own comments... what a strange phenomenon. then i tried again after reading these comments and your replies... and it was zero again so i am pasting my comments in the post that has no comments.

today:
i came back and watched this again and this time saw the other video... so absorbing for me... such interesting questions it stimulates... better the second time.
