When's the
last time you
realy thought about
art?
What is it about art that touches you so, how does it
go about evoking an emotion, why this piece of art
and not that?
As an artist I will say this; Art and commerce are mutually opposed. Now, you'll make a face and dismiss the preceding statement as sheer nonsense. "Only an artist who doesn't make money would say such a thing", right? Hmm. The truth is as old as our unique ability to imagine, and if you block out all the noise you will hear it.
The posted video will amuse many, but that which drove Eric Schwartz to create it will be understood by few. And the more we intuit the nature of art, our experience moves further away from the generic and ever closer to the unique.
