Hypocrisy?

There’s an article in yesterday’s Sydney Morning Herald attributing the decline of modern art to increased iPod usage.

Bold claim, and pretty specious as far as I can work out from the article – it seems to run along the lines of ‘people are listening to music more, therefore clearly not using their eyes as much. I’m a visual person, therefore I the trend is rubbish.’ Hmmm.

But it goes further: “I think we are not in a very visual age and it’s producing badly dressed people.”  

This is devastating critique coming from someone wearing a bow-tie.
