A Very Strange Literary Experiment Using Water Vapor

A Very Strange Literary Experiment Using Water Vapor Call it a smoky art installation or a unique tribute to what’s considered a timeless novel: Don Quixote.Also known as «The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha» by that Cervantes guy, ex-slave, soldier of fortune, and small time entrepreneur.There’s supposed to be a message behind this also ingenious little project that enunciates the wh*le of Don Quixote (a real door stopper it is) letter by letter thru smoke.It’s a pretty incendiary broadside against the art establishment too.The most scathing part reads:And so just as Don Quixote’s over-credulousness leads him to receive numerous violent thrashings and endanger Sancho Panza endlessly, so does our own artistic credulousness lead to an abundance of hypersyllabic essays on, quite frankly,bad art.There’s a wh*le lot more explanatory text that’s best viewed by opening the source link down south.Also, since we’re at it, we’d like to recommend an earnest reading of Don Quixote, a novel written at the behest of a Spanish nobleman several centuries ago.It’s a fun portrayal of Spain emerging from the Middle Ages.It’s rife with esoteric references as well.They don’t write books like they used to.
