Art is not controlled by the fickle tastes of curators, critics, the rich, or the academic elite. On the net art is cheap to make and distribute by anyone who wants to, and can inexpensively be had by all, anywhere on the globe. A lot of artists using non-digital media get paranoid when I talk to them that computers are taking over. This is bad 70's sci-fi. I like a lot of different things around, and I like it when people are involved in a huge variety of cultural pursuits.
Artists are so paranoid or are such rah-rahs about their particular pursuit or style.
Its so neurotic. What a bore. The posters and the media stuff. Well, these ideas came up in 1990, and were sort of a critical response to the street art of the 80s. The audience is so much broader.
