That is pretty sick. I remember when the real thing was happening I got really sick knowing that these people had to choose either burning to death or falling to there death. I think this guy just wants the publicity. |

"I was so distraught, I needed some way to find an artistic response," he told the Chicago Sun-Times. Now, he says he sees falling as a metaphor for life.
"Mentally, physically and emotionally, from day to day, we fall. Even walking is falling: You take a step, fall and catch yourself," he said."
And what this tells me is that he's a pretentious idiot who makes up nonsensical comments to try to disguise the fact that what he's doing is in poor taste, and not very artistic.
If you have to make up bollocks like that, what you're doing is probably not worth looking at.
My 2 cents. Which is what, a penny in UK money? |

Hate to say it Boo, I've had the walking is a controlled fall quoted at me, too. Think about it though...we don't all walk around by placing a foot on the ground, then transferring the weight across. We place foot and weight on the ground at the same time, trusting that the ground is firm enough to take our weight...

Hey Smerk. I don't disagree with the walking thing, although I think it is a gross simplification.
It's the intense pompousity of the rest of the quote(s) that lead me to believe he's a pretentious idiot. I've been around these people enough to recognise it when it rears its ugly head. |

I just looked at the poll results. At least 77% of people have sanity. |

What an idiot. He's just doing that to get publicity. All those victims of the WTC are probably mooning him right now |
