In the online edition of MoMA’s ArtSpeaks program, a member of our staff shares personal impressions of an artwork in the galleries. Here, product designer and software developer Eric Li talks about Marcel Broodthaers’s Un coup de dés jamais n'abolira le hasard (A throw of the dice will never abolish chance), and the beauty of poetry without the distraction of language.
