Because expateek has delved deep into psychological theories with the help of Dr. Owl, she knows that the best antidote for chaos in one's own life is to experience greater chaos via the arts.
This is why she so enjoyed the computer generated installation work by Peter Kogler at the MUMOK Contemporary Art Museum in Vienna.
When expateek entered the room, it was pitch black.
Suddenly, grids of light raced across the walls,
accompanied by mysterious and alien sounds.
Then, the grids began to bend and sway.
They bulged out and popped into strange new shapes.
Gradually, the grids disintegrated,
turning into more and more organic forms,
until, over the course of several minutes,
the room was finally encircled with swirling, winding light-trails.
And then the room went pitch black.
Lovely... expateek could have stayed there all day.

Oh that's gorgeous! Your images came out beautifully! Sometimes installations can be difficult to capture.
Thanks, Blicky! Yes, I was surprised. My little Canon IXUS is pretty capable. I manually set the ISO to 400 just to experiment. The darks are a little pale, but I was happy with the result.
This installation was absolutely spellbinding. I LOVE contemporary art!
Lucky gal. Vienna...sigh...
