talking about Art as a medium. . .

I point it out because if one were to view the work in reverse order, it would be a much happier story. though there are no words, a powerful picture of a life with highs and lows does develop.

here's a supporting blog:

Interesting example, but what can we learn from it about new media as an art form, or vice versa?
