Science - Philosophy / ciencias sociales, literatura, arte
English term or phrase: for a fraction of the expense
Only the absurd theories of science harboured by so many artists and art critiques could explain how the flood of kitschy biotech cyborgian clichés exhibited by artists such as Matthew Barney could pass for great and profound art ‘about’ biology. Any article in on DNA, embryos, termites or heart disease would generate ten times more ‘art’ for a fraction of the expense.
