The Asia Pacific Triennial closed on the Easter weekend at Queensland's Gallery of Modern Art = GoMA.
Yes, it's my second visit I've blogged about it here once before. But this time I'm just using one of the artworks the PixCell-Deer by Japanese artist Kohei Nawa to illustrate a cautionary tale for you - beware Spellcheck! For some reason Nawa's covered a real stuffed deer with plastic or glass bubbles.Why? Why would he? Because he's an artist. Because he can. My apologies for the Photoshopped artwork - the original looks more like the one below.
I don't know. We'd need to ask him. There's beauty and then there's - Spellcheck! Imagine you sent out thousands of emails this afternoon to your clients and instead of sending just one email per customer your new program sent out 13 emails to some 40 customers - blood boiling on both sides of the internet. So you need to "apologize for the inconvenience" of 13 copies of the same email in your in-box. But then someone emails back "apologize for your incontinence"? "We apologize for your incontinence". Might as well be looking at a deer blowing bubbles. Another Spellcheck victim. My friend may never use the word "inconvenience" in an email again. She never uses the word "solemnize" in emails any more for the same reason. Now every time this marriage celebrant even thinks about writing "solemnize" she writes "legally married" instead to sneak past Spellcheck without disturbing the dear.
Do you know how Spellcheck spells "solemnize"? What goes with Gommorah?
MY DEER me! Hee-hee. It's kinda beautiful in a horrific way don't you think?
