I discovered you can waste an awful lot of time on YouTube and become an
expert in useless information. In the process, however, you are
participating in a 21st century form of musical assimilation, a creative
pursuit that is rooted both in Freud's method of free association and in the
random sampling that John Cage, Witold Lutoslawski and Steve Reich foretold
as the basis for a new musical civilisation.

What Nuclear Explosions Have To Say About
Art<
http://www.theartnewspaper.com/article.asp?id=7971>
Can nuclear explosions advance art history? A former curator from the State
Russian Museum in St Petersburg believes they can. She has developed a new
method for dating paintings in collaboration with Russian scientists which,
she says, provides "indisputable" evidence of whether a painting was made
before or after 1945.
