i will be taking this aesthetics class at oxford, yeah yeah, one of the several books i have to read before i actually get there is called art and anarchy, i have not started yet, i read a little about it, its general point is that the current art can no longer inspire because there is so much art and it has a sort of numbing effect on people, i would hate to think that, and to a certain extent is is true about a lot of art that is being created, walking through a museum one feels nothing, and if one feels something, one knows either too much or too little,
if one has a preordained connection with a certain piece or style it is not the individual instance that gives rise to emotion, but the general tendency one has to it, put anyone in decent big budget movie, and provided they pay attention they will act like puppets on a string, we have left hitchcock's work in the dust, music alone has that power, but the image alone is enough, at the same time every movie has to be bigger be better, every piece of art has to be more revolutionary to escape gaugan's truism "a painting is either a revolution or a plagiarism" yet there seem nowhere left to go, we seem to have descended into a world of absurdity, the point of art should not in-itself be revolutionary, in many ways i idealize art, i see it as the slow escaping hiss of am individual's breakdown
idk what i am talking about, saw a shitty movie, and feeling equally shitty, i was going to write about being lonesome, but if one does something enough it becomes numbing, loosing its intended effect
on second thought, i for some reason am feeling lately as if i am going insane, i know part of it has to do with my project, and i think that is the biggest factor but i feel as if i could be loosing me mind, i could be hypochondriac but who knows, i strange i try so hard to imagine what it would be like to be schizophrenic, but i have never even met someone with that... thing anyway i should be getting some sleep
