The Garden of Earthly Delights

Political boundaries start with private property of land protected and defined by force. Real state borders are usually defined by gardens. Modern gardeners have become the urban and industrialized version of peasants and artists. They work for the owners of the land. Southern California is distinct by its beautiful gardens. Workers who have to cross these political and real state boundaries usually tend to these gardens. They own their means of production and have become small entrepreneurs. These are sleek power tools. They are functional and symbolic objects. They pollute and make noise but we depend on them precisely to create the necessary green areas and artificial nature of the city at a low cost.

The Garden of Earthly Delights is a mechanic ballet where the pastoral and the industrial clash and depend on each other. The aesthetic machine is a contradictory means of expression and an end in itself. It is customized technology at the service of art, culture and politics.

So thats what all the coke money bought you...You couldn't pay ME to mow MY damn lawn with that, do you even know how many useful hydrolics are on that thing? yup, and all are wasted!...Mexican

For the record: This art piece was originally funded by the exhibition "Mixed Feelings" at the USC Fischer Art Gallery in Los Angeles. It belongs to the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago. It has two Pro Hopper hydraulic pumps. It is definitely not a machine to be used by bigots like this moron that like to show us the lack of intelligence and education that unfortunately is still so prevalent.
