He got the gumption to actualy throw an art exhibition of his own work. <BR/>I hated most of it. But I like this photo. <BR/>It was an accident. <BR/>"Virtual Forest" is its name, and it is a picture snapped through the broken seal of a frost hazed window.<BR/>It is a photo of nothing. An experiment of a bored man on a day he was afraid to leave the house because of the weather.<BR/>In this case, art is an accident. This photo is so evocative of a deep, lush forest. Trees, grasses...it's so real, you can picture furry little animals going about their business. <BR/>It's nothing but frost. Random, unknowing frost on a window of suspect quality. That's art.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472274569626473434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17502166.post-74874246610283796362007-03-01T09:15:00.000-05:002007-03-01T09:15:00.000-05:00thanks for the comment, mom! it's good to have so...thanks for the comment, mom! it's good to have some other input into the conversation. <BR/><BR/>i like the aristotle quote. i always want to be full of wonder.<BR/><BR/>i agree with most of what you've said here, that there seems to be no question that the things we create are, at least in some way, considered 'art.' but the question, then, that persists for me, is: why? <BR/>why make it?<BR/>why do it?<BR/>why invest in it?<BR/>why?<BR/>i mean, i actually really enjoy making my collages. it is both a peaceful and chaotic process for me, very satisfying. but is that all it is? wouldn't i be better served using that time to read or be in relationship with someone or even sleep? <BR/><BR/>still wondering,<BR/>greg.greg milinovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04494018362755379449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17502166.post-9123174125327523032007-02-28T14:19:00.000-05:002007-02-28T14:19:00.000-05:00when something is made for mass consumption, i hav...when something is made for mass consumption, i have my doubts about it as art. but many chefs would tell you that making food is indeed an art.greg milinovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04494018362755379449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17502166.post-50329627533499646252007-02-28T11:48:00.000-05:002007-02-28T11:48:00.000-05:00German's make a good gummy bear. But the point at ...German's make a good gummy bear. But the point at hand is the deep philosophical question, is this art? Does Sweden produce art? Are Swedish Fish art? And again, I ask, why not? If it is created, in a sense it becomes art. So, Greg, I do see art in the garbage that you make into a collage. Do I like the Swedish Fish collage? It's not one of my favorites. But does it begin a discussion. I think so.Emolyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12015660768317462193noreply@blogger.com
