What makes a work of art good for you is not something that is already inside it but something that happens inside you. Painting can be an internal experience, an echo between canvas and viewer, paint and room, color and light... Silence is so accurate.
There is a stillness that moves you if you are in the right environment. But there is something that Rothko, and probably Eno never considered in their quest for internal quiet: the technology that would absolute bombard the 21st century... everyone and myself included, is photographing, filming, documenting. This isn't a discourse of punishing a contemporary viewer, but there are so many places where we now running out of silence.
