Article 1: Kaprow

One thing that I liked from this article is when Kaprow talks about how brushing his teeth has become routine. He predicts that 99 percent of his life is dedicated to routine tasks that he no longer thinks about. Although I think this percentage is an over-exaggeration, I would be interesting in finding out what the true number is.

However, I do not understand how this could be linked to art.

Article 2: Weschler “Desert”

The thing I found most interesting about this article is when he was talking about Michael Heizer and his work, and how his photo-murals somehow lost everything that was important in the translation.

One thing I didn’t like about this article was that Weschler didn’t show anyone his “work.” I have a hard time appreciating art work I cannot see or hear.

Article 3: Saunders

One thing I found interesting about this article is the idea of living your entire life as if you had just survived a near death experience. I’ve never experienced a near death experience but I’d imagine it would be like being like an extended adrenaline rush.

As for something I didn’t like about this article, there really wasn’t anything except for maybe how lengthy it was.
