Well crap, now that the auction market is gone up I need to dump my art collection and get out while the getting is good.
I haven’t listened to this weeks show yet, but the comment about kissing makes me wonder if someone is listening to The Show with Ze Frank as he made this observation a few weeks ago. Either way, his daily video blog is worth a viewing.

…or maybe Ze read the book.
Great interview! I think Duncan did a really good job interviewing W J T Mitchell. It was really insightful and interesting to hear Mitchell’s ideas, and the conversation that developed around the ideas was great too.
I love you. Never leave me again.

This guy gets paid to spout such drivel?
Why does this guy sound like me!?
This guy Mike Benedetto that is.
There are no end of people who get paid to spout drivel. Phyllis what is your objection to this particular bunch of “drivel”?
It’s low-brow, 2nd graders’ pabulum dispersed as wisdom for a supercilious audience. How indulgent.
What does kissing entrails have to do anything with looking at a pictures (besides the only example of icons)? Mitchell sounds more like an artist than a historian. Which is fine – it’s fun to make things up. It just requires an appropriate context.
art theory is an aborted middle-aged dinosaur (see picture).
Duncan and Terri did a great job! WJTM’s books can be quite stimulating. He is also one of the few “Theorists” (with a capital T), who has evolved away from the “linguistic turn” into a “pictorial” one — hence perhaps the first edge of the wave which will undue the (now superficially accepted consensus) theorists of word-over-visuality. That is to be applauded.
Strong Bad, I am honored. I am a big fan.
Can anyone tell me what the name of the song played for the intro to this episode is? Also, why don’t you guy give credit to the bands who’s music you use?
