george herbert mead called objects in the world "collapsed acts"
i like that.
art is a form of doing.
there are any number of ways into doing. there are any number of relations to the production of "objects" (which is only one possible outcome), or narrower still, of objects that refer to other objects.
my preferences involve a commitment to craft, but craft is many things. thinking is a craft.
what a viewer or an audience makes of the results of a process is of no consequence for the process. it can't be, really, if you think about it.
in an environment of total design, people sometimes find it disturbing to be put in a position having to make meanings for themselves.
people confuse art and entertainment.
fuck entertainment.
