Welcome Back Nick Gentry

Welcome back Nick Gentry. Gentry creates art on floppy disks. I think there is something to be said about his idea of beauty in this piece and the medium in which Gentry chooses to portray it. Clearly no one uses floppy disks anymore, they are out of date as time has passed them by. How does that Socrates quote go? Beauty is a short-lived tyranny. Time touches us all and even beauty will fade through time. As the digital age has taken over this idea could easily work on CDs as well, but aesthetically might not hold the same power.

What are your thoughts?

@ Ris: It does! the blasted thing is basically corn fungus which sounds pretty disgusting but isn't that bad when cooked properly.

You are wrong. His real name is Cuautlahuac "who cares". And e became emperor after the death of moctecuhzoma.
There was a town called Cuitlahuac, but "plenty of poo" or “dry excrement” are only a meaning, out of context. Another meaning based on the ground of the town is
"new vegetation," "gold water or "lake vegetation landscape".

But... what can say a fckng american without hisory. The real USA meaning is death, hunger, terror. You are the worst empire in history. All world hate you because steal everything you can...
