The power of the greatest art is the power to shake us into revelation and rip us from our default mode of seeing. After an encounter with that force, we don't look at a face, a colour, a sky, a body, in quite the same way again. We get fitted with new sight: in-sight. Visions of beauty or a rush of intense pleasure are part of that process, but so too may be shock, pain, desire, pity, even revulsion. That kind of art seems to have rewired our senses. We apprehend the world differently.

  • Hey Mr Stagg you rule doing this spoof. What's with jojobeaubeau?

  • @Cybernaan it's Mr Stagg's name for his invisible third arm that holds the camera. And I think you should be calling him 'Sir'.

  • Dear All,

    Simon Schama spoof, episode 3, is now available.

    Dinosaurs, an inoffensive topic, marks Schama's change of strategy in

    recession-blighted England. Uncontroversial, loveable, and made

    popular by the smash hit 'Jurassic Park', dinosaurs guarantee

    commercial success for this eminent historian, and provide a cosy

    resting place where he can await the next commission...

  • the head bobbing is a bit over the top but the voice intonation is spot on

  • lmfao.. that was perfect.. everything right down to the script is amazing: "it was the advent of the serving spoon which changed so much about 17th century europe" "a place of love, but not of lust; a place of culture, but not of high culture"... SO GOOD

see all
