For the pleasure of sharing ideas, through the poetry of the printed word
I love being inspired, thus the new working title of my next book project is The Faux Failing Memory.
The interesting thing about the written word is that you can almost always tell when the author isn't being completely honest. At least I can.
For the pleasure of sharing ideas, through the poetry of the printed word
Perhaps at first it's instinctual, and then, as one learns to trust one's instincts, it becomes a skill. That's at least the reader's part. The writer gives off clues within their style. Citing "failing memory" is often such a clue.
For the pleasure of sharing ideas, through the poetry of the printed word
A plain old lie is for sure less honest than memory. Memories are mental reenactments, and, for sure, a reenactment can never be the original. Those are givens.
Yes, one can certainly tell an unwitting falsehood, and that's usually due to not knowing all pertinent information, or some such circumstance. Whereas to actually tell a lie means that indeed the liar does know the honest truth, but chooses not to express it. In which case the memory is indeed truthful, although the expression of the memory isn't truthful.

what value does art have in the world?
Work and church and sports bring people together a lot more than art does. Plus, art is just as capable of separating people.
The desire for art to bring people together is based more on economics (the desire for people to spend money) than it is on the art itself.
Personally, I like museums best when they are free and virtually empty of people.
And that Milton Glaser quote* is more non sequitur than anything else.
I wonder how many murderers have seen the Mona Lisa.
* "If you like Mozart and I like Mozart, then the likelihood of us killing one another has diminished."

I also like museums that don't even exist....

...you just asked a very good question:
Is the enormous amount of effort and resources worth the output?
Rhetoric is cheap and uses very little resources, so I'd say let there be all the rhetoric that any artist wants. But, when it comes to enormous effort and resources, I too often wonder if the resultant art is worth it.
Personally, as an artist I am very "conservative" and/or frugal in that I pretty much try to only use what I have. And, indeed, my artistic goal at this point is to use up what I have. Plus, the whole virtual thing that I'm interested in is very much done in an effort to use "virtually" no resources at all.
Did you know I've done some artworks entitled Bombastic Piece?

Yeah really, who cares about curators, galleries, slides, CDs, paintings and all your other unfulfilled desires?

1955. Sunday, New York City
"My memories of the appearance of a bicycle wheel mounted on a kitchen stool in my studio in 1913 are too vague and could only be transformed in thoughts a posteriori," writes Duchamp to Guy Weelen, organizer of the exhibition in Lausanne [24.6.1955]. "I only remember that the mood created by this intermittent movement was somewhat similar to the dance of a wood fire; it was like a reverence to the useless side of a thing generally used for other ends... I was probably delighted with the movement of the! wheel as an antidote to the habitual movement of an individual around the
contemplated object."
