David Hockney’s ‘Fresh Flowers’: Techno-Art or iHackery?Posted on Dec 22, 2010
This isn’t the first time that David Hockney has dabbled in the realm of digital art, but the images in his latest exhibit, “Fresh Flowers,” wouldn’t exist without the aid of Apple products—specifically, his iPhone and iPad. They also couldn’t be shown without those same gadgets. Hockney’s iOuevre, as The Atlantic’s Alex Hoyt put it, isn’t exactly ringing critics’ chimes in every case, but making masterpieces—or tons of money—may not be the goal of this exercise, at least according to the man who curated the ongoing show at Paris’ Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent Foundation. —KA

Castaneda—or Castañeda—has been compared to Coyote, one who teaches us the truth by faking us out.

Para mí sólo recorrer los caminos que tienen corazón, cualquier camino que tenga
corazón. Por ahí yo recorro, y la única prueba que vale es atravesar todo su largo.
Y por ahí yo recorro mirando, mirando, sin aliento.
For me there is only traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have
heart.
There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length.
And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly.
Carlos Castaneda.

SIXTEEN YEARS IN THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY..THEN THREE YEARS THE COAST AND MT
