John Knight (artist)

John Knight (born 1945 in Hollywood, California) is a conceptual artist in Los Angeles, California who works in situ.[1] Since the 1960s, Knight has made pioneering works grounded in site-specificity and institutional critique, works that interrogate underlying economic systems.[2]

gollark: I suppose they also have more mathy software - my calculator can do stuff like automatic equation solving and whatnot which I can't easily do on my computer - but I'm sure there's something for that.
gollark: I'm aware. But it's kind of weird that they cost so much still.
gollark: It can plot graphs nicely using several different web applications.
gollark: Graphing ones cost something like £100. My *phone*, which has a very fast (comparatively...) processor, 32GB of storage, a 5" touchscreen and wireless networking, cost less than that.
gollark: Calculators seem weirdly expensive for what you get. Fancier ones anyway.
