Recently I've gotten to know a few artists, and I get the feeling pathos is vastly more important than the actual mechanics in art. But then there's also some artists using things like Arduinos to control mechanical or electronic amalgamations (locally: a pile of old CRT televisions), so maybe the "my kid could paint that" is more indicative of a move away from canvas? Maybe someone in the art world can shed some light on this

I also spy a bottle of O.P. Anderson in the background
