In my formative years, the only Art professor I ever respected taught his charges that all great art affect’s
members of its audience in different ways, depending on the context of each member’s experience as well
as their current mood.
I’m not sure why, but this clip ( http://www.video.me/ViewVideo.aspx?vid=9368 ) reminded me of his
constant admonition that “no piece means anything until it has passed through the viewer’s filters”.

If! Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes. And The only
source of knowledge is experience. Then mistakes equate to knowledge.
And, If mistakes equate to knowledge, then a lack of mistakes must equate to Stupidity.

"... that's ridiculous (see
below) in a condominium you
cannot purchase the air
space because overnight the
air will leave and the next day
you will have nothing left!"
(WHAT IS A CONDOMINIUM?
Legally, a condo is a "vertical
subdivision," which includes
ownership of airspace to the
inner walls, ceiling and floor
surfaces of a residence unit.
The building structure and
the land are common areas
owned by the homeowner's
association, to which all
condo owners in the complex
automatically belong.)
