I find that the art pieces that project the most sense of power is the one that can hypnotise you. You are thrust into a sense of confusion and your direction of looking and thinking is led by the artist. And you don't even realise it. It's a kind of power that one allows themselves to be completely taken over by it. Isn't that kind of power more frightening? Regardless, I think the Milwaukee Art Museum's exhibition: Sensory Overload: Light, Motion Sound and the Optical in Art since 1945 is worth the place to be controlled by. :) Must something masculine be always linked to power?
