Who says New Media art doesn't make sense? Look, its chocolate! Chocolate always makes sense. Actually, if you could explain the meaning of this work I'd be quite greatful. (click the pic for the site)
Continuing in my ugly economist's hat mode, I feel compelled to share this little discussion about John Maynard Keynes . What? You mean you're not up on your economic theory, and can't remember who Keynes is? Well he just happened to be a British economist, responsible for 'Keynesian' economics (funny that), which was the basis for Macroeconomics, got made a baron, and etc etc... Don't worry, I forgot too. He was an important, influential economist. He liked numbers. Alot. He also liked men. Yes, Keynes was an unabashed comrade pillow-biter (Gosh, I don't mean to insult his memory, economists probably wouldn't like to be called 'comrade'). He found a way to combine two of the things he liked very much, numbers and sex with men. He kept diaries, with detailed statistics of his conquests.

At least I hope not! :|
