@museumghostart@halecar2@pridesai Taste is pre-subjective, runs in families unintentionally intuiting conventions from early human art (cave paintings, etc) your mother or grandmother showed you, forming softpower. Reading AI-enhanced essays changes brains. Bad taste is a sign of new culture, i love it.
And so, in Italy, we have lost Giancarlo Politi, founder of Flash Art in 1967. A whole generation is going, piece by piece. Giancarlo believed in young new writers, so in 1987 he published my article on Arte Povera which changed the course of my life. Thank you, Giancarlo.
@TheChiefNerd Maybe SA needs a class in Philosophy. What he calls "training humans" i call "living life" , including reading and writing books - pure bliss.
Marianum, vicesimo saeculo eras, in mundo tuo natus sum, et transitus tuus est ultimus saeculi nostri transitus. Non intellego mundum sine visione tua. Vale, amice carissime, intellectus carissime. Nam MG
@CozomoMedici Know all the history of how things happen. As for Kosuth, Nauman and other US artists, some were appreciated culturally in trad art places outside before being so in the USA. Remember Castello di Rivoli, Turin, then M+ China, then etc. Nemo profeta in patria. It is normal.
.. yet another wonderful person has just passed. I salute you, and thank you, Ceal Floyer, too great for our petty world. You just kept going on, till you got it right. Ave caelum gratia plena.
@beeple Another quarter of what I think: the work is very US American in its use of irony - a tool to level cultural and intellectual disparity with most more ancient and layered civilizations (Europe, China, India..) that have a way of surviving, like the bog people in Denmark.
I am very very sad at the news of Koyo Kouoh' s passing. She was a wonderful and decicated person who believed in joy. A wonderful help for dOCUMENTA (13) and very intelligent. It is a sad day today for the art world.
*In Illo uno, unum* - 'In The 1, there is 1.' Mathematics, theology, ethics.
Leo Magnus was Pope from 440 to 461 - in times of great change, what did he say to Attila? 'For a disarmed peace and a disarming peace' - *Saluto te Papam Leonem XIV*
Zoran Music painted the essence of being human, barely alive, between earth and earth again, briefly, just able to breathe. It is the essence of painting, too. He drew in Dachau in 1945, and painted in 1970-71. He called it "We are not the last". Let us change the dataset.
@elonmusk Buying votes is not democracy. It is unethical. People must form their opinions freely. You fire people and you buy people. Sad. Marcus Aurelius would not admire you as a leader.
@elonmusk That would be dictatorship. The judiciary is separate from the executive and abides by the constitution. The people cannot "will" anticonstitutional things. Democracy is not an elected populist dictatorship. Thousands of Americans fought against that over the centuries.
