Discourse with an American Dadaist - Part 5
Where does the legal stuff come from… are you in the business ?
I feel someone (or even a group of artists) on this site is going to become internationally famous.. because in many ways this is the new visual art frontier… and for me this is the most exciting site out there. The real world of value and money will catch up eventually as it did eventually with real internet business’s.
In 15yrs they will talk about the internet art revolution.. I hope.
I sense with you.. a sponge like quality to absorb ideas and influences.. and redefine them in your own ways.
“Do folks tell you also that you are “too philosphical” or “think too much?”
Personally I think that’s a modern Anglo Saxon phenomena.. cultural dumbing down caused by watching too many soap opera’s. I doubt they said that to Sartre or Proust in France.. I don’t bother talking art to most folks.. in business I talk business.. at home i talk family.. at soccer games I talk about soccer.. if someone sees my work and wants to talk about it.. fine.. I’m in there. But generally nope.. I don’t bother.. pearls before swine and all that.
In many ways I think (I hope) what is happening in art on the Internet is similar to what happened to music in the 60’s.. its became a global phenomena accessible to the whole planet.. at relatively low cost.
Art has been too constrained, high brow, stuffy and elitist.. but now its busting out everywhere.
Maybe I’m wrong on this but.. I think you’re a Dadaist but you don’t think you are ! And you think I am a Dadaist.. but I don’t think I am ! I think I have Dadaist tendencies. Maybe both of us.. were unconscious of our Dadaism ?
BTW I love this one.. very Dada.. LOL

I like the way you think Andy, and I hope you’re right about the internet art revolution…the whole “ART” with capital letters thing drives me nuts. “You” like it or “you” don’t …that’s it.
