Beautiful meditation on how Rauschenberg captured information overload decades before it became inescapable. The point about those fabric layers witholding information behind grey shrouds is really intresting - kinda makes me think we've gotten so used to incomplete understanding that we just scroll past what we cant grasp. I had a similar moment in a museum last summer where I couldn't focus on anything. Maybe the fragility of those silks suggests clarity itself has become impossibly delicate.
Yes, clarity is so delicate these days! The layers of fabric reminded me of when I have too many tabs open, or when a computer screen burns a webpage into the screen permanently.
