Really wonderful review-cum-disection of our current lover's quarrel with mass media, and the way this ubiquitous media is shaping and defining the message of ourselves. What was once roads through a landscape has become the landscape itself, and the idea of what it means to be human and what it means to think as a human is being undermined as a result. To wit, fewer and fewer people are donating to and/or visiting museums of art (which would make a fascinating dissertation in itself) and as a result, many are severely underfunded and many others are closing their doors (see http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2009/10/claremont-museum-of-art-is-about-to-close-its-doors.html as an example of one the latest casualties). There are others (http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/feb/20/economy-leads-closing-las-vegas-art-museum/) Sure, the economy is to blame, but perhaps the greater threat is our increasing inability as a species to understand and appreciate aesthetic value. If there isn't either a pragmatic component (what can I *get* out of this?) or a salacious one (oh my god, look at that!), we don't know what to do. We no longer know how to pay attention.
