Notes:
- "intelligence" in art coming more from the viewer's interpretation than the actual art? - projection of meaning, trickery or thoughtlessness in art
- some art could easily have been created without thought (like The Beatles writing "I Am The Walrus" - intentionally nonsensical and meaningless lyrics with the intention of tricking people into attempting to work out a meaning - this was in response to people's over-analysis of their songs)
- there are studies in which "experts" cannot distinguish "real" art from children's or animals' art
- "Woman Pays $10,000 For 'Non-Visible' Work Of Art" - James Franco's Museum of Non-Visible Art
Maybe this course is just training us to make everything that is useless, pretentious and self-indulgent, but maybe if I think that, I can embrace that?
