SFWeekly: Are We There Yet Leaves Unanswered Questions - But That's the Point
In today's Too-Much-Information Age, we want answers and we want them fast. Whether it's web searches, e-mail, Tweeting, updating Facebook, or downloading an app, we'll do whatever is necessary (and, don't forget, convenient) to find information now. In the Contemporary Jewish Museum's media installation opening on March 31st, "Are We There Yet?", Bay Area artists Ken Goldberg and Gil Gershoni challenge us to do the opposite -- slow down, ask questions, and embrace contemplation. For they believe that it's questions - not answers - that help us understand the past and propel us forward in society and in our lives.
