"Science is Limited" said Dorothy Cross.
I nearly fell out of my bed as I
listened to a podcast of this idiot as she described her latest artwork. Bath tubs with gold at
the scum line being watched by a shark's eye which the viewer of the
exhibition cannot see but must be told exists. Sorry, she may not be an idiot,
maybe she's just in bad faith, or maybe just deluded.
maybe she's just in bad faith, or maybe just deluded.
And then she said "Science is
limited."
It's a bit of a cliché but what has
science (and technology) ever given us? Everything this imposter has
ever used. The building she exhibits in. The cell phone she uses. The
lighting in the gallery. The bed where she sleeps. Her credit card.
Asprin. Surgery. Brain surgery. Ideas beyond her paltry imagination
certainly. Relativity. Knowledge of genes. Super-computers. Shrek.
Images from a space beyond imagination, beyond even an artist's
imagination. Presumably also the embalming used on the shark's eye.
Maybe she's not be a detail person. Let the mere technicians do that.
Anyway let's compare once instance of
what she has done with one instance of what science has done.

Image from the Hubble Telescope, This turbulent cosmic pinnacle lies within a tempestuous stellar nursery called the Carina Nebula.
And the sad thing is she is proud of
her scientific ignorance. By luck she is making money from this
stuff, but probably imagines that it is due to her concepts and skill.
