It flickered into focus at the New Museum's 'Younger Than Jesus' last year and ran through the Whitney Biennial and I'm seeing it blossom and bear fruit at 'Greater New York ' MoMA P.S. 1's twice-a-decade extravaganza of emerging local talent.

My point is that perceptual bias can affect nut jobs and scientists alike. If we hold too rigidly to what we think we know we ignore or avoid evidence of anything that might change our mind.
