Thought of the Day

As provoked by my Aboriginal Culture class:

What makes aboriginal art "aboriginal"? If I make a dot painting (see below), is that aboriginal art? And if an aboriginal person paints a city landscape, what would you call it?

My first aboriginal (or not) painting. This is the incomplete version, but you can tell it's headed somewhere great.

And that is why I study computer science - everything is either right or wrong, no shades of gray and no endless contemplation using weak words that cannot describe the complexity of the clash of two cultures.
