December 5, 2009nothing is original anymoreeanything is do, anything anyone does,
has been done before.
it may be better, it may be worse, but nevertheless, its been done.
take a pretty picture?
great. theres propably hundreds of variations somewhere out there.
i mean really?
why bother?
but the thing is, i like it.
whatever im doing--i enjoy it.
so maybe its not inovative, or the best youve ever seen. but its mine.
and theres something special about that.
so i say we all go on, doing things that may have been done before,
because maybe its not the first, but it may be the best.
thats what counts, right?

June 8, 2009Regina SpektorAs much as I talk about having narrow musical tastes - man, I like some weird stuff. I can't call it a guilty secret pleasure because I have no guilt and it's not a secret at all: I love Regina Spektor. It's completely unlike everything else that I like but I really, really like her music. She's a weird chick - her music has all the lightness of a barney sing along but with all of the maturity, depth, creativity, and sometimes crudeness of any artist I have ever heard. I think that I just like girl artists in general. Girls' voices are just prettier. It's more difficult though to find a really great sounding female artist who also has profound meaning in her music simply because there are less famous female musicians than there are guys. Which is a shame because I think it's the male singers that turn me off of most music. They either scream and yell like an idiot or abandon all masculinity whatsoever and sing falsetto half of the time. Both are disgusting to me with rare exceptions of both. Thank you again Johnny Cash for showing us that you can be masculine, not a tenor, and make great music all at the same time. The video above is particularly awesome. She always has such great videos - I wish I knew who did them. The colors (or lack of) are amazing - the way the set is coordinated with her outfit - brilliant. Not to mention Regina is beautiful... :) Her videos are always like that though. They're always stunning artistically but also do a lot to enhance the meaning of the song. It's a nice break from all of the live performance videos that everyone else seems to be making because they're so easy. Screw those videos - I think I'll puke if I see another one.

March 10, 2009Drawing on the Right Side of Your Brain
Creativity is managed by the right side of your brain is it not? They say we don't use all of our brains. Probably less than half. So why not try to use the most of your brain as you can. To use only the left side of our brains would be a waste. When we don't even use all of our brains using an even smaller amount would just make it worse. Our creativity is what makes us who we are. Creativity is the window to originality. Without originality we are all the same being. Our minds would no longer drift off during class and we could not even think to dream. And to even imagine a world without creativity. No music. No art. No movies. No imagination. No one would even think to make a movie about the life of a bee(Bee Movie) or an ogre falling in love with a princess who just happens to be an ogre too(Shrek). No one would care to write such lyrics as "And this is the part where you find out who you are. And these are your friends those who've been there from the start."(The Maine) or "All you need is love"(The Beatles). No one would have even thought to pick up a paint brush and paint a "Starry Night" or ask a girl named Mona Lisa to pose for a painting. So take the step that needs to be taken and branch out from what the rest of the world is doing. Your creativity ultimately results in your originality. And what makes you stand out in a crowd is your originality.

March 8, 2009Ramblings..You know, I've come to the realization that I have recently reaffirmed my belief in listening to my better judgement.
It is my opinion that those of us who are creative, (whether it's drawing, writing, music, crafting etc.), ultimately must bow to only one voice as to the worth of our labours and that is ourselves... for when it comes down to it, if 'it' pleases you, if you are happy with what you have created, what better testimony is there? Not to say that praise, compliments and even constructive criticism from others aren't appreciated, but at the end of the day, if you are happy then mission accomplished. Equally, if something you create doesn't give you that feeling of satisfaction, if you feel that it's just 'ok' then you are doing yourself a disservice and the only person you are short-changing is you, for I believe we are compelled to create whether we share our creation with others or not, so, while pleasing to do so, it is not a necessity to receive validation from others.

March 6, 2009kkoagulaa vs. Altermodernkkoagulaa vs. Altermodern
Posted on 6 March, 2009 by choronzon333 | Edit
Refer to the earlier post: (The Avant-Garde Will Eat Itself, or on a clear day you can see Jörmungandr choking on his own tail) And let’s talk about this. Avant-garde (pronounced /ɑvɑ̃ gɑʁd/) in French means “front guard”, “advance guard”, or “vanguard”.[1]experimentalart and culture. The term is commonly used in French, English, and German to refer to people or works that are or innovative, particularly with respect to art and culture. Banks Violette (born 1973, Ithaca, New York) is an artist based in New York. …Death metal, ritual murder and teenage suicide are starting points for Banks Violette. His work is notable for combining references to excess from youth culture with minimalist form, often using glossy black and ghostly white materials. Citing examples where musical lyrics become instigating factors to real-life violence, Violette refers to an over-identification with fiction, where fantasy and reality are blurred. Hmmm… The Market As Performance Art, Art As Commodity, taste makers seeking for a raison d’etre, journo’s and commentators whipping themselves into a froth. Case in point: Altermodern: Tate Triennial 2009, an event, a declaration and a curator that have the art press twisting themselves inside out. Postmodernism has died a thousand deaths, but we do wait for curators at large institutions in visionary and creative stasis to tell us when the nightmare is over before we accept it. This connects with an article I posted to Alterati.com around the wild and wooly entertainment spectacular that was the 2008 US election. Admittedly, I held the thing together with spit and duct tape, but those protest didn’t turn out to be more than the prisoner’s last meal before execution, did they? A couple day of noise and the livestock went back to their pens and accepted whatever was handed to them as slops. What is this all about? Well, what is presented by living artists at such edifices as the Tate is art sanctioned by the moneyed classes, it either confirms or showcases their control and soothes their sensibilities, or is “edgy” and “provocative” in the same way the jesters filled that function at court. The middle-class identified are often thrown a bone to keep them coming, and to move them to pledge to institutions in the US. (”Middle-class identified includes the actual middle class, but also those who are not middle class financially. There are those groups of low wage earners who don’t get their hands dirty in their work who are encouraged to identify as middle class to keep them on the hamster wheel, as well as retail management proxies who kept the appearance of financial comfort by buying into the credit ponzi scheme which has been the illusion of prosperity from Reagan up to the recent bank and credit collapse.) Through a hollowing out of the body of art as a vital and living force juxtaposed the harrowing evil that is represented by Thomas Kinkade on one side with “pile of sticks in the corner” art and “chocolate sauce enema while whistling Dixie” performances on the other. Of course, the hip and precious have been delighting in a sort of representative painting in the guise of a very Satanic flavor of kitsch in the last few years. (wink, wink, aren’t we clever and detatched…) We’re happy to see so many people discussing art this past week, but will this conversation lead to anything meaningful? The herd of artists and institution is about to be thinned through the loss of carreerists, speculators and glamour-chasing poseurs to whatever will give them money and attention, wait and see. Excellent. What we present here is our answer to the Altermodern Manifesto with the kkoagulaa manifesto, which preceded the grand Altermodern declaration by many months and which we declare to be more revolutionary, more comprehensive and a million times more relevant, for it was screamed from the wilderness. And next up will be our answer to Jonathan Jones’ wailing cry that: Art as we know it is finished
A new modernity is emerging, reconfigured to an age of globalisation – understood in its economic, political and cultural aspects: an altermodern culture Increased communication, travel and migration are affecting the way we live Our daily lives consist of journeys in a chaotic and teeming universe Multiculturalism and identity is being overtaken by creolisation: Artists are now starting from a globalised state of culture This new universalism is based on translations, subtitling and generalised dubbing Today’s art explores the bonds that text and image, time and space, weave between themselves Artists are responding to a new globalised perception. They traverse a cultural landscape saturated with signs and create new pathways between multiple formats of expression and communication. The Tate Triennial 2009 at Tate Britain presents a collective discussion around this premise that postmodernism is coming to an end, and we are experiencing the emergence of a global altermodernity. Nicolas Bourriaud thee kkoagulaa manifestoooo (Alpha Test)Posted on 22 May, 2008 by choronzon333
This statement will evolve as we evolve, as you respond and remix it, as worlds collapse and return… ### This manifesto is a living document, constantly evolving, part of the process of art itself. kkoagulaa is a living, constantly evolving entity, a shout from the mountaintop proclaiming the primacy of the act of creation. All life is a collage of every form that has been engaged in a dance with the chaos that calls forth new forms. Order dissolves into chaos and then collapses into a higher form of order. This holds true for galaxies, ecosystems, empires and civilizations. The Universe, society, culture manifests in eternal change, and so should music and art. The artifacts of kkoagulaa too are not so many calcified forms, but moments of the process of discovery captured. In a time when the business and cultural role of music and art is becoming increasingly destabilized, a quickening of chaotic activity ends up opening up new possibilities. This period of chaos before new structures coalesce into the next orthodoxy, before a possible return to and strengthening of corporate hegemony, the creative community has an opportunity to stretch out beyond safe art and safe social functions. Better still, we see an opportunity to include everyone when we talk about the creative community. Not in theory, not as a fluffy bromide to flatter an “audience” or a way to make “customers” feel included in something when they’re nothing but another resource to be exploited. Art exists for you to shape it, hijack it and remake, remix, reiterate and even reject it. It is for you to inspire thought, critical thinking, re-consideration. You are part of kkoagulaa. Your grandma is a node of kkoagulaa. Your cat is integral to kkoagulaa. Art is commentary on society and culture, whether it is intended to or not. We have been sold a notion that art is something the majority is to sit back and passively observe, if art plays a role in daily life at all. It is vital that you reject that notion. Throw it out, public, go on, take the next step. kkoagulaa declares that society, culture and all actions in space-time are examples of art, and by extension magic, the continued creation of the Universe. All life, all processes, all art and the Universe is partially finished. Nothing will be done until the Universe collapses in on itself. And even then, the process begins anew. You create the patterns you see in everything you behold, hear, touch and think about. You create the meaning of a work of art. By looking at it, listening to it, reflecting on it, you complete the creative act. should you take that symphony, piece of writing or painting and add your own touch, cut it up and recombine the elements, you bring the process further. ###
