This will not be eloquent.

I enjoyed our time at the MoMA. "Automatic Update" was great; I enjoyed the interactiveness of those two works of art (the one that spits out questions and the one that creates a dialogue in pictures). And because our generation is inundated with so much media (convergence!), it's interesting to see how artists approach the rapid changes in technology. Who knows, maybe in a year or so, someone will write a book in "txt message" language.

Onto Richard Serra. The giant sculpture exhibit...what can I say? It took about 10 minutes to circle the entire thing on the 2nd floor. I did not feel enlightened. But it was really cool—I mean, imagine the process of installing those steel contraptions into the MoMA! And the way the metal thingamajigs have been manipulated, placed as if they were ribbons. I stood in the entrance of one such "loop" in the ribbon, trying to imagine if, after a hard day's work, Serra could lie down and look up at the enclosing metal around him. It's claustrophobic. It's a wasteland.

Erik Friedlander's The Broken Arm show, outdoors, was quite interesting. Entirely strings. I wish I could have stayed longer.

That's all.

P.S. Did you know that "thirty" also means "conclusion"?
