I saw this earlier today too. I think it's visually striking and certainly provocative, but to what end? I feel like one could interpret this in a variety of ways, but most strongly that it mixes the ideas of American pragmatism with American idealism. There is hope and despair in the way things are and the future is very much uncertain. It also makes me ask, "what is the goal? what will we do if we ever achieve it?"
