Jeff Koons and Illusions

Jeff Koons, Puppy
According to Guy Debord, "The whole of life of those societies in which modern conditions of production prevail presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles.  All that once was directly lived has become mere representation."  Technology has given us life on a screen.  Some people only see artwork on a screen, instead of in 3D, in a direct experience of the artwork.  There is something to standing in front of a painting or walking around a sculpture that cannot be experienced through a 2D screen.  For me, art is meant to create an experience and that experience is greatly diminished through its other representation on a screen.  Enjoy!
