sublime, pixelated

What an interesting website Metafilter has directed me to. It's called greg.org, and it's written by Greg Allen. He's obviously deeply but unshowily conversant with 20th c. modern art, including a (little known, very small) art exhibition on the moon
He compares buildings pixelated out of the German version of Google Street View to Gerhard Richter's blurred paintings, an association I could have made but didn't, and to the work of Brazilian artist Helio Oiticica, an association I couldn't have made since I had never heard of him before. greg.org's prose is casual but precise yet hospitable to the worst of puns. Blurmany?
