One day when I first came here to work I found myself staring at the bar, and all I could think of was it looked like a blu-ray image on our T.V.
When we first got our Blu-ray player at home and watched a movie on it, the picture looked strange. I realized that was because everything was in focus, something our eyes could never do. This doesn't look like reality at all, or for that matter a movie, there's no depth of field! Everything also looked extremely tinny.
Skip back to last month when I was at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. I wasn't actually sure at that moment if I was going to draw the bar, there was so much going on; but I had already named it! The bar in the back, the bottles, glasses, shelves, all had that tinny look, just like blu-ray. It stuck in my mind and wouldn't let go. So here it is. What is this, reality imitating TV?
