The Armory Show NYC

I visited The Armory Show last week-end, a very popular art fair (now too popular for some, of course) that draws galleries from all over the world to show off their contemporary works. They've added some modern work, but the contemporary is still the focus.

And as I walked along I couldn't help but think that there are artists ("artists") basically trying every possible idea of what could be considered art. It brought to mind a depth-first search algorithm, as if some huge computer cluster were exploring every idea and then every variation of every idea relentlessly looking for art, or at least something that people will buy.
