Ok, now I'm pissed.
I'm pissed that I haven't paid attention to TV, for the last three years. I just turned on a PBS and watched Art:21.

This is the third season of this show, evidently, and, if even only a few of the featured artists are as amazing as a couple of the people on the show, today...well sweet holy shit!

2. Well, it features the work of, I think, three artists per episode.
The first artist in today's episode, Laylah Ali, creates some very disturbing images which are, apparently, from her childhood demons...



The second one, Krzysztof Wodiczko, projects video images of people's faces or hands onto large buildings and monuments. And you hear them speaking about very emotionally powerful things in their lives...



Here's the web site for the series: http://www.pbs.org/art21/
