I'm doing exactly what I shouldn't be doing... talking about the actual topic
LOL. It's true man. When threads around here go off the reservation...they tend to stay there. But hey.I'm doing exactly what I shouldn't be doing... talking about the actual topic
Couldn't agree more. This context x Schott is absolutely a work of art.

Monitor, consider the chemistry of paints used by artists in that medium. The patterns in music. The golden ratio in art, nature and sculpture. The list goes on and on.

What is punk?
@ProteinNerd, yeah, like or hate the object, think it is beautiful or not, seems beside the point to me.
The Japanese sword is art because it's creation is the same as firing a clay, or sculpting a statue; there are unknowns in the process. Any tap of the chisel could reveal a flaw in the marble the was previously unseen, every opening of the kiln door could reveal a collapsed vase, and the Japanese sword has many such processes, each of which could incur a flaw not revealed until final polishing. The art is in knowing this, and knowing how to work with each individual object in order to reduce the risk of flaws. If it's 'science' then it's a very imprecise science.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Art is similarly subjective. If I consider a creation to be art then that's good enough for me.
make sure when you let yourself pondering over that matter, you have the right kind of music playing in the background...wrong choice of music could easily harm you.

I always listen to Selena Gomez when I ponder the meaning of life.

Punk music was related to Conceptual art. The idea was that anyone could afford a cheap electric guitar and amp, and if you studied the basic chords you could write and perform your own music. In other words, the guy who wrote Johnny B. Goode didn't have to go to Juilliard. If you wanted to make movies, you could get yourself a cheap 35 mm camera and make a three-minute movie. It would be awful: the sound would be off, the lighting atrocious, people wandering in and out of frame, etc. But the next time you made one, you would have already learned a lot and it would be 100% better. And so on. At the old CBGB's, it wasn't about virtuousity but about the idea behind the act and the songs. Lou Reed said, "Anything more than three chords is jazz."
The idea is still going strong, but like anything else some of it's interesting and a lot isn't. An Austrian writer named Robert Musil, back in the 1930's, said something to the effect that there's never been a good or beautiful idea that didn't eventually got commandeered by greedy, stupid people and used to the opposite effect than that for which it was created. This explains a lot of modern music and certainly Art Basel.

Pfft, everyone knows that Demi Lovato is the best music to ponder one's existence over.
