Tonight, there was a brilliant documentary from the BBC, on our ABC called 'How Art Made the World'.
Tonight's episode (the first out of five) was about the representation of the human body.
More Human Than Human...My gripe is that this series aired on the BBC in May 2005 and on PBS in June/July 2006. We in Australia have had to wait a few years to see it.
One image dominates our contemporary world above all others: the human body. How Art Made the World travels from the modern world of advertising to the temples of classical Greece and the tombs of ancient Egypt to solve the mystery of why humans surround themselves with images of the body that are so unrealistic.

More training today. Sitting down all day, listening can be tiring.
