It's limited to 6 people/day.   It's worth double that to not have to navigate the Instragram posters.

I’ve been trying for a few years to get access. There are very specific rules, and a VERY limited number of people allowed each day. I LOVE stuff like this. Brutalist, awe-inspiring, almost random. There isn’t enough of that in the world, even though we all seem to long for the challenging, even the numinous.

First thought is that we like art because it's a different vocabulary. Same with music and food.
I repeatedly ask myself what emotion does this picture/sound convey? 

We've all seen/heard it or something similar, and it evokes something primal, but there aren't really good words for it. I think art is like that. 
For instance, why is Michael Heizer's "City" installation so moving (to me)? To put it in words, it means something about eternity or power, but I just sit and stare at the pictures and apply every year to be able to go see it in person.

It's the blind squirrel effect. They cheer when he finds a nut, but ignore the pile of rocks collected. And in this particular case, I'm sure there are points where I find him at least close to the mark as well, but I be they are different points that Beaker has. So we don't really even know when to cheer the squirrel except when we agree with his outcome.
