When looking at Anne de Vries work, Boids, within the Asdzaa nadleehe exhibition, one can see how critical thought and contemplation would be needed. de Vries works to understand behaviors within populations and use sculpture to then depict patterns that have emerged amongst the people. The namesake for her work, boids, are a type of program that also creates simulated artificial life that acts similarly to the patterns of populations.
Compared with Molesworth's essay, one can see that the lack of more traditional art techniques, such as painting or drawing, alludes to Molesworth's ideas in regards to post WWII art being more about the idea and less about the actual piece. With de Vries art you get a simple tube of cloth with a pattern of people printed onto it, but the idea of simulating cultural patterns across the world is the real 'art'.
