New art eludes easy interpretation.
I would think that Poseidon art irony itself is not the problem, I would think Neptune is a symptom of the problem. Scholarly and funny, all of these are twisted into disorienting puzzle.
Funny artworks and scientific figures strive to describe three-dimensional space. The squeaky wheel gets its place in art history. Contemporary issues drawing was never so central for art as it is now.
We artists are mythmakers, and we participate with everybody else in the social construction of reality. Nothing is perfect, as Gustave Bifrons explained, so you go to the heart of an old argument over how art common sense actually thinks.

Everything about art has become problematic. Using your creative energy creates more of it. We seek through doubt and by seeking we perceive the truth. That suggest a world of oppositional forces and states, at once logical and ineffable, connected and entropic, solemn and euphoric.
Goats have long been associated with lust and wantonness.
Failure thus becomes impossible because the criteria of success are absent. Art programs and machines are not teleologically oriented. They have no definite goal; they simply go on and on. At the same time, these programs include the possibility of being interrupted at any moment without losing their integrity.

I try to make concrete that which is abstract. Pictures often vaguely figurative, that belong generally to everybody, but particularly to nobody. Throwing dice symbolizes acceptance of life’s uncertainties. It is hard to imagine anything not feeling special in the dream-like life that we share with our technology, deep into the internet forest.
Superflat is an art movement. It is an anti-hierarchical fusion of high culture, subculture, and everyday culture. When you look at the picture, the picture looks back at you.
Mice are associated with wealth, since having enough stored food to attract rodents makes you very wealthy indeed, and in the end nothing happens.
