The Marukami exhibit at the Albright Knox Art Museum -- is there a secret code for getting it?

Visited the Albright right after Christmas, mostly to see the Takashi Murakami exhibit, The Deep End of the Universe. There must be an audience for his work, but I just can't place myself in it. I see the huge panels, the fantastic creatures, the colors...but it all doesn't communicate much to me. I feel as if I need to know something, some context, as if the creatures and crazy colors require some code to understand and appreciate. But I don't know it. It's up until the end of January, so I will visit again and see it again.
