Comment on The joy (and pain) of abundance by dali agarwal

Something triggered when you said “celebrations and festivals……”
I can understand this – when one participates in a festival, one enters an energy zone of abundance…abundance hits all one;s senses….and one cancome away having spent little money but having experienced abundant energy.

having said that – and I;m a person whos anti excess consumption….my work requires me to innovate ways that encourage consumption (i work in retail)

so, we design beautiful stores that entice people (similar to a festival/ carnival) then people walk around, absord the sensory assaults…and leave , with a small purchase the do not buy the entire store…

just a paradox of behaviour …and thats what makes life worthwhile !

wonderfully thought-provoking post, as usual! I never would have thought fractals and birdsongs were related. huh. and I love the idea that we have a joyful response to birds singing because of something deep within our collective unconscious. beautiful.

We have fabricated and installed several such open art storage systems, the largest one being the Luce Center in Washington, DC. We also installed the cases pictured above. Thanks for the nice images.

Oh my goodness – that’s so crazy and fun! I wonder how that might work on my living room walls…
And, for the record – I don’t think those were sill questions about whether the fruit dried up or not. I was thinking the same thing!
Happy Friday.

I’ve been thinking that PopTarts should do a Rothko special edition. Some of their mixed berry flavors have a little Pollack “flavor” to them already. Perfect medium! Love the cookies.

I think Frida’s art would be fun but perhaps hard to put into sweets. =)

What a cute idea. Agree that Pollock would make great cookies. You could do Warhol ones, though you might need stencils.

Very interesting! I must say that this reminds me of a Bugs Bunny Cartoon. Bugs says: “Oh, now doc. Don’t get yourself in a dither. How do you know I’m contaminated? I haven’t got no symptoms. You don’t see no spots before my eyes, do you?” Then the TV screen started to get filled with colorful dots!
