previous | 23 September 2005 | next Just got back from hearing Jim Sanborn talk about 'Kryptos' at the Hirschhorn. Some interesting thoughts: "What is a mysterious sculpture with out mystery?" Art's integrity lies in its ability to retain mystery. When "kryptos' is solved, will it lose it's integrity? Will it die? Mistakes were built into the code to hinder hackers. Pulped CIA documents have associative value as an art material. Sanborn likes typography. Herman Zapf, a houseguest of his parents, hand-designed a custom typeface for them. Sanborn is interested works that require collaboration between multiple cultures to solve/appreciate.
