I went to the Walker Art Center with audrey_dean today...

I haven't been able to stop thinking about what I want to do as a video artist to contribute to the pile of dung that is modern art. I've always struggled with what I should do to express myself, and actually do art (whatever that is). Thusfar, I have really only given a bland mix of entertainment for the heavily drugged, or the heavily unattentive.

Part of my problem has been that my particular subculture would be fairly unappreciative of my message, effort, and talent. I've got to do it for me, not them.

See, the Walker showed me one thing: art is being fucked. I've got to do my part to seriously challenge what people see as art, and why. It's blasphemous to ask "what is art", but ironic, since art seems to be about challenging peoples boundaries, etc- blah blah blah... The one boundary that people don't want questioned is the one boundary that MUST be questioned: what is art.

I think over the next period of... well, whenever... I will be working to give my message in a non-pretentious, but still in-your-face, kind of way. If it works for my events- cool, if not- fuck it... it's for me anyway. Maybe I can get published or make a website and get a couple hits.

Step aside Mr. "I shit on a canvas"- naptime is over.
