Accidental art?
Last week I was riding the bus to work.. and I looked at the back window.
I first thought there was an ad of some tribal art exhibition in a museum, as there clearly was an image of a horse or cow skull staring at me.
But another look revealed it was nothing like that. Yes, it was an advertisement sticker, but the image was in the back: the sticker had become partly loose, and soot and dirt had crept under it, creating this pretty incredible picture.. wow.

You’re a lucky post-modernist! Some centuries ago you would have identificied this “accidental art” as an evident sign of evil. You would either depart to the cruisades to save your soul or be burnt by the Finnish chapter of the Spanish Inquisition.
Instead, you took a picture, you went to your office and at some point you wrote a blog post.

It looks like two pairs of old underwear to me.
