A lot more is possible, but only if art is stripped of the false mystery and false religiosity which surrounds it, this religiosity usually linked with cash value, but always invoked in the name of culture and civilisation is in fact a substitute for what paintings lost when the camera made them reproducible....
the experience of this has almost nothing to do what anybody teaches about art, its as if the painting absolutely still soundless, becomes a corridor, connecting it represents with the moment at which you are looking at it, and something travels done that corridor at a speed greater then light, throwing into question our way of measuring time itself.
