One thing certainly that the Computer Age brought about is the ability to be repetitive. We as humans like to repeat things that we like. Whether it is going back to our favorite restaurant, taking the same trail when we walk, using the same amount of creamer in our coffee, we love to repeat ourselves. Warhol of course with his Marilyn and Mao Series brought the prominence of repetitiveness to our consciousness. We definitely enjoyed seeing the evolution and changes. But more importantly we reveled in the ongoingness of the work. His exhibition of soup cans and cow prints over and over and over again was something that we took real joy in. Its hard to say why this is, other than "we like it." I could spend the rest of my life repeating the pixelized Kandinsky patterns.
