One of my many beliefs is that interesting art is a representation of where we are now. What interests or upsets people now, what do we laugh at or recognize in ourselves?
David Byrne’s work as a recording artist, producer and visual artist has always given me unexpected joy. GottaGo is delightfully funny.
Apps for our smart phones, pads and computers are all the talk and are destined to make our lives obsolete, by taking complete control of our thinking and shielding us from our humanity. Which is funny in a way.
Lets be honest with ourselves, only an app can consistently say anything worth saying in 140 characters less.
