If you are putting all your waking hours into doing art every day… you are getting pretty good at having a kind of rarefied taste. So, metaphorically, you are eating some two-hundred-year-old gorgonzola cheese while the rest of the world is eating mild cheddar. Sometimes it’s just nice to escape your own well-developed taste and see what happens if you leave things to chance. It’s a Cage-ian, Duchampian idea, but it’s a very good one.
