Why Is Modern Art So Bad? (Video by Robert Florczak)

I think there’s a case for the rock being brought from the wilderness to the city — if that’s where it has come from.
It’s like having petting zoos in cities for children who don’t get out of the city to see cows or rabbits in open country or farms.
People could come to the local academic or municipal site to pet the rock.

— I haven’t looked at this rock. I have looked at rocks in the wild and seen lots of photos and drawings of rocks. I don’t feel I need a rock to be brought near to me but can see that people on low income who are urbanised and trapped by lack of cash, work, or family commitments, and can’t travel — they would benefit from seeing, touching, and maybe climbing a rock.
The best venue would be near their homes. Somewhere they could reach it easily.

— However, would it not be better to take people to see rocks?
That would be cheaper. And more environmentally sound.
That would be more educational. And potentially mind-broadening.
And the rock would remain in its natural habitat.
And be less traumatised.
