Granted, there is a lot of ego-stroking going on in many modern galleries, but there is much more meaning to most contemporary art pieces than one would think at first. For example, a lot of people would immediately think of paint splattered on a canvas and labeled as a finished piece to be ridiculous. However, Jackson Pollock, who started the action painting movement, had the energy of the artist as the subject matter for such work, and the properties of paint itself.
Contemporary art is not all spontaneous non sequitor crap - there is a lot going on behind the media used which people do not pick up on and dismiss without further thought.
Of course, I don\'t mean that JellyWerker had any grand significance to his cubes in mind, but my point stands XD

And yes, I am in love with the orange cube. Thank you for going through that 2 hour hell to render it :D
