I love the idea of having a mass of chaos that, when you see it the right way, you realize that it's all arranged in astounding order. Like Gravity's Rainbow, or what the Matrix could have been if Neo had truly transcended instead of fading out in such anti-climatic fashion. Lost has the potential to be staggering in this sense, too, if it all comes together right and they don't keep leaving these loose ends (like, why was Desmond's time-traveling on the island limited to dreams about Charlie and then forgotten about? HUH?).This morning I learned about this artist, Tom Deininger. You really have to see the video of his Marilyn Monroe piece. I almost wish they didn't show the whole piece as a static image until the video was over. To see this pile of garbage, then pan out and watch it all coalesce... If I have one complaint, it's that I wish the piece were bigger.
