I love neon as a part of the art world. I love neon as a part of commerce. I live in a tiny mountain town with a ton of neon. I love it. Bruce Nauman's Live Death / Knows Doesn't Know is a wonderful piece (that I did a bit of manipulation on above) that does a lot of work in art and language. The way it flashes gives you only a moment to capture the piece in your eye before it changes, morphs both the meaning and the presentation. That makes it a smart piece, and one that kinda plays really well with Frank Stella's shaped canvases which alter with the angle you view them from, making some things recede and others pop forward, only here it is not your positioning, but the flow of electrons through tubes of colored glass, glowing, excited, calling.
