as a visual thinker the graphic helps me build a mental model which then helps me understand the text. i like it. the fact that it was made quickly means it's more likely people will do this, which is a good thing! yay! progress!

I wonder if it would work the other way... can i be reminded of what I was planning to make for dinner when i take a break to play with the computer?

The artist, presumably, has moved on. The onion rings, presumably, have not survived the week. But the image persists... a quiet koan in an era of noise.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

What elevates the work is its siting: the gritty asphalt, the metal utility grate, the institutional gray of what could be a loading dock.

This is not art placed in the world... it is the world revealing itself as art, if only we possess the vocabulary to see it.

The effect is unexpectedly moving.

One thinks of Robert Smithson’s earthworks, of course, but where Smithson sought the monumental, this piece embraces the incidental. The onion rings will be consumed... by birds, by decay, by the passage of a single afternoon. The rock will remain.

A rough-hewn boulder (limestone, perhaps?) its surfaces bearing the geological memory of ancient seas, sits at the possible intersection of two parking space lines. Upon it, a scattering of onion rings, their manufactured uniformity a stark counterpoint to the stone’s primordail irregularity.

In an era when institutional art spaces increasingly feel like mausoleums of cultural capital, an anonymous work has appeared that demands our attention precisely because it refuses to demand anything at all...

Nintendo is smart and has fully embraced the powerful role of a "not my fault" middle man by saying we have to do our own research
