Supporting the Arts
While in Paris, Randy and I visited Centre Pompidou (their modern at museum). We explored a good chunk of this enormous museum, but I think our favorite part may have been the children’s wing/floor. There was this interactive exhibit totally geared toward their intended demographic (children) that we temporarily hijacked and thoroughly enjoyed. Basically, you enter this room, sit on a bench, press a button, and your photo gets taken. You then proceed to a computer screen and pick objects (or words) to include above or below your photo. Then, voila, a piece of paper prints out a little code that you take home and type into your computer.
I should probably mention that Randy and I were surrounded by impatient children and annoyed parents while we stood in line to do this…twice. Yep, we were the only adults participating – much to the chagrin of quite a few concerned Parisian parents. Even worse, the image of our photo appeared on a screen in the main children’s wing room so that everybody could watch us posing. On the plus side, this kept our adventure from morphing from art into pornography. Besides, as we all know, the only difference between art and porn is the lighting. And based on the results of our art, it’s quite obvious the lighting was pretty bad (porn may have been the better option).
So, being the artist that I am, I’m now going to share our creations with you. Simply click on the link below, then enter each code (you can click on the image to enlarge it slightly).

What delicious fun! Love the pics!
OMG – those are disturbingly funny. I like the 2d one best overall, but love the scary gnome in #1. And boys, you look like twins in this pics! “Besides, as we all know, the only difference between art and porn is the lighting.” What a classic quote! Save that one for a Cantibrigian party or something. And it’s true, true, true.
Hmmm…I think they border on porn…after all they are rather phallic in their linear presentation 🙂
You two are just so cute! I’m kind of surprised at all that discontent from the Parisian parents. The French used to have a better sense of humor and particularly liked it when adults came off it and played like kids. Maybe they’re just getting too sophisticated for their own good.
Or maybe they’re just still pissed off about “Freedom” Fries and being called “Old Europe” and irrelevant to the modern world by you-know-who.
Wicked fun. Love the second one.
Love you too.
