@parnowihavetogoblind Some art may have have meaning to others while others it just doesn't at all. All depends on so many aspects of your life and way you think. Don't think just because you don't see any meaning in it, doesn't mean others don't.

@osakanone okey I haven't figured out how to link this to society and life, but to put it in a simple way, this is art performed live ? good idea buuuut... yeah xD

[osakanone]

Anyway, sorry to be a total bitch about this stuff. Nothing personal, guys :)

@osakanone

The understanding of what happens doesn't even really need to have anything to do with the intention of the artist, provided it works.

Its like being able to look at a bunch of grapes and say "hey, is it better as grapes or wine? How do I even decide that?" and messes with your head a little.

@osakanone

Of course, I could be so far up my own arse that I'm just reading into it what I want to read into it. That's the point of art, really.

Good art says unique things to the individual and tries to help them make connections they previously could not, challenging their world-view

Good design says the same thing very quickly and ensures people understand. Signs, billboards, packaging, etc...

Technical skill is being able to draw a cow and other people understand it is a cow :)

@SjokkoladeBolleMusa

Its art, dumbass :) Its your call, take it or leave it.

Would you deprive yourself of unusual stimulus? The wider your experience, the better you can understand the shit going on around you, since humans work by finding patterns and comparing trends.

More data to compare against means a better understanding and less will lead you to panic and freak out because you've seen 'weirder shit'.

Sorry if this sounds like fuckin newage hippie shit :)
