I've had a weird, weird, weird personal relationship with art over the past year or so:
On a personal level, from 'I wish I could be how I am to others the way I create!'
... to 'What's that, John Zerzan? Art and symbolic thought are forms of alienation?!'
... to 'Art and even DADA is only sublimation and worse, a source of my alienation!'
... to 'I form my identity through art!'
... to 'My ego is my art, I must abolish it and free myself of all constricted identity!'
... to 'Hey, I wonder what happens if you mix nietzsche with primitivism?"
... to 'Holy fuck, that surgery made me feel... guilty?'
... to 'But... the origins of the symbol itself reside in domination! And desacralizes the world!'
... to 'art, creativity and philosophy is meaningless, there is no truth in or through it.
... to ""
... to 'Well, this sucks, give me back art and philosophy, but make it playful, affective, expressive!'
... to 'I have to start creating to get perspective and my identity as created by me back.'
... to 'My art may be an expression of my self, but my self is always in flux, always growing, never static. My art allows me to determin that flux. My art is only static when my life is. Idiot. Stop looking for scapegoats.'
