Sounds like an elevator pitch for a SyFy Channel Original.

Isn't culture just a fancy way to say ironically enjoying shit things? I challenge you to give any other reason why the Composition in Red, Blue, and Yellow is a thing.

Abstract art seems prima facie stupid but it's actually pretty cool, it's a complex process to try to create a piece of art while trying to separate yourself from influences of the natural world you've witnessed.

I'm being facetious. Of course there's always room in the world for more ugly ways to tile bathrooms.

I genuinely like it as a piece of decorative art. I don't find any extra value in the original physical work (although I understand where it comes from: hype), and I don't find any special philosophical point to it that hadn't been made by the epic troll Duchamp four years earlier and a zillion times better. But I like it, and I would hang it in my room if drilling the wall wasn't such a pain in the ass.
