Re: Art without Parameters

FROM Alimohkon (writing.com)

That's right, people claim rights, privileges, anything they can get (out of nothing), without defining responsibility.

A poet does not own his poetry. It becomes everybody's I think. And that should be a poet's reward - once his poem is spoken by others.

In Dean Baker's ebook "The Conservative Nanny State", the point is apparent. You can't claim you own that software for all eternity. It's not yours. The same with art. Bill Gates tries to portray to the world that he is now a charitable billionaire. But that's not true. Our NBIs are raiding internet cafes to serve Microsoft rights. Is that right?

We have a responsibility to write - good writing. And this good writing must be shared, with no strings attached.

Art (in its many forms) should have its parameters defined by its audience (or community). For example, many non-artist types (or those not educated in art or art history like me) would have difficulty calling much of the modern art in the past 20 years as art. Their parameters would be classical and more stringent. However, those in the art community would have different parameters and thus conclude differently. Good article.

Right! In fact, I have developed a blog on communications activism. That's what I call it. I have coined the word and that's what I call my fight.

They say I am a fascist for fighting against poems, but really, it is in these things called art that people try to hide while polluting the space with all unlimited liberty. There are beautiful ways art could be useful and not be decadent. Why do these negative things have to be foisted on us?

I don’t think I am alone with this thinking. I will have the parents who care for their children. I will have those who care about values – people who respect other people’s rights.

Thanks, fprine,
Many think I am being facist in my beliefs about art, but the truth is that much of what art we have today are decadent.
