the Telegarden was way more interesting. They were exploring the idea of mantaining life from an anonymous community.
I haven't understand the point of this, beyond the "it's fun to see the tate gallery at night".
- theoh 12y agoYeah, it's really a bit basic for an institution like Tate. Have you seen the other leading contenders for this project though? Also pretty weak. http://www.tate.org.uk/about/projects/ik-prize/ik-prize-2014 http://www.tate.org.uk/about/projects/ik-prize/ik-prize-2014 Personally, as a serially apostate UK-trained computer scientist who is now an art/architectural historian, this kind of thing makes me question the superiority of London's museum establishment. It feels as empty as the rash of gourmet burger bars in central London, just recycling an idea of freshness rather than actually pushing any boundaries. Inherently conservative, not that I believe "disruption" is the answer to everything.
- lucasnemeth 12y ago<3 I couldn't agree more. Great analogy with the gourmet burger bars lol. All the projects seems like commissioned work.
