Ah, HN, where the top comment to a post about an artistic process is it costs too much money.

  It costs too much money for the quality of the result. I've been lucky enough to know professional creative people who are very good at their jobs, and the one quality they share is the ability to produce work that is somehow reassuringly effective. It's like they can give an audience the gift of just believing in what they do. There's no need for cynicism or questions - the work just works, and you can relax into it. I don't think this is on that level. There's something awkward and self-conscious about it, so it doesn't quite gel or pop like it should. It's both too controlled and too messily out of control (lasers? acrylic? light projection? kitchen sink?) at the same time. It's only about the money in the sense that there seems to have been a lot of it, and it's not obvious why.
