As much as we appreciate him now, we will more in the future. He changed the human aesthetic in so many ways, the future will live in his aesthetic.

The quality of my perception of light has been the most important influence in my life.

I don't know why there are no subtitles in the Guganheim museum video. We need consideration for the deaf and non-English speakers.

Love this human and this helps me understand art poetry and life. Thank you James

This is an interesting video, but I ask everyone to go see the skyspaces in person. The photos are very different from reality, though these spaces in real life are fascinating as well.

Color theory

[@user-ql7hu9mj1o]

fabulous - Govan insists on speaking about white as being no colour and Turrell the opposite - this is the difference between binary cultural thinking and art

[@sambitnes]

This Govan guy breathes weird and very loud
