In art, success begets success more so than in any other industry, and to achieve success you firstly have to be innovative, but more importantly, you have to associate yourself with success. Damien Hirst became friends with both an influential art dealer, and a very influential art buyer (Charles Saatchi).

Success then begat success. 

That said, his ideas are fascinating. I love this piece and wouldn't tell him to "piss off" if he left his garden shed in Devon and came back to Leeds.

yes Damien I agree with your kind Humanitarian artistic approach, but us folks aint born yesterday, you do it for controversy, so do us a favour and piss off, your art is predictable and shit, no talent.

[chandru1103]

if he has no talent then why is he so famous. Talent is judged by others and he is very successful...so...

I like much of Hirst's work, but just thought I'd point out the fact that your reasoning is flawed.

Just because something or someone is successful doesn't necessarily make it exemplary of 'talent.' Look at all the shit films Hollywood pumps out each year and millions of people drop millions of dollars to go see. Just an example. But I do like Hirst.

[chandru1103]

yes, but talent is a relative term....it is something that we as humans have created....what is talent but something that we as a majority feel it is

damien hirst is for profans that is why he does so much money. All the effects he uses are really narrow, easy-understandable etc. It is just a provocation - just blood, meat and uglyness...without any sense.

First awesome vid. Can people actually join together to stop corporate tyranny or change the way we exchange goods, (where the person, company or country that has the most assets benefits the most in trade exchanges)? Do we have to wait for everybody to wake up to their ignorance in order to do it peacefully?

hmm it's a good point
