What is the victory of a cat on a hot tin roof? Just staying on it I guess, long as she can.

Aesthetic satiation.

I'm feeling random, so I thought I would compile a few photographs / artworks / images that satiate my aesthetic needs. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have done. 

Nothing is beautiful, only man: on this piece of naivete rests all aesthetics, it is the first truth of aesthetics. Let us immediately add its second: nothing is ugly but degenerate man - the domain of aesthetic judgment is therewith defined. - Nietzsche 

The two photographs of installations below by Brusse at http://www.ilovebrusse.com/ are fantastic and very quirky. I can imagine that you would be very touched if someone did this for you!



It pleases me to see that this girl has a Nintendo Gameboy in her handbag! The Opera Glass is also very cool - I wonder whether she was on her way somewhere, or whether she just has really poor eyesight...


This guy below is at the height of cool.


And, speaking of bikes, I would be over the moon to have a bike with my name on like this one below! I think I would like an olive green frame, however.


And I found this remarkable little cartoon and poem too, which is fairly sad but nonetheless thought-provoking. It suggests that you can only conceive of what you have experienced. Is this true? I'd like to think not - that creativity is alive and well. The little bird's lingering determination makes me think that he'll get to where he wants to be.
