ABSTRACT
As the pace of urban, technological life increases, the impact of individual objects and events decreases. Objects and momentary conditions, however striking, are not as solid as they once were. Some artists and industrialists pay tribute to this transience. They contribute to its effect by formalizing it and attempting to imbue it with value of its own. Such calculated rationalization of what one sees can provide a convenient excuse for drifting with and capitalizing on the social course. This is an understanding of convenience.
