yes which is exactly what right now as much as i sigh and i think its embarassing that white people now are going hard to try and subvert and rearrange this idea of a canon or even better do away with a canon entirelyIsn't that how it's always been? It's not as though the entire world was fixated on Joyce when he published Ulysses. People were doing stuff all over the place and Bely had written Petersburg years before. It's obviously intensified and become even more fragmented now, but we're looking back as though the avant -garde was the handful of artists who ended up being canonised and nothing was happening outside of that select group.
We haven't mentioned Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies yet.
You'd prefer they kept the canon?
i'm surprised you didn't pick my list or was it too much of a gut punch to the forum?Craner's Top 100
It's what the people are waiting for. Why? 1. His taste is impeccable, but also idiosyncratic, especially on this forum, and I'm genuinely curious as to what would qualify. 2. He always writes good stuff to accompany his COTD selections. How? I would suggest a maximum one selection per day...dissensus.com

for the people who play games in here i'd be curious to see what you lot think of Pathologic, been meaning to get around to playing both games for ages since i have them
I've seen 2 VR art installations- one you put on the set and become a basketball. Then Jeremy Lin comes out, dribbles you, and shoots you through the hoop. This was at the Guggenheim. The other was this narrative puzzle game that took place in some vapour wave looking space that seemed cool but glitched up on meVR will change everything eventually, I think. It's at a very early stage now but once the technology has advanced enough, and become cheap enough to be used by everyone.. There's probably VR art exhibitions already but at the moment I'd assume the cost of making VR art is high, and perhaps the technological knowledge needed to, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's as interesting as art as Disney films are as cinema.
In that it feeds into acts of stochastic terrorism, yah. Small isolated acts completely disrupt the entire social field, if avant garde=disruptive. I'm pretty much never comfortable in a movie theater. When I saw the joker movie the guy behind me started making strange popping noises with his mouth during the films climax and I thought I was going to die.What about the toxic message board as the culture for the next avant-garde? Trolling as high art? Talk about scary.
It bleeds into someone's point about the terrorist replacing the artist. Perhaps the troll plays the role in cyberspace that the terrorist plays in meatspace? Two forms of the next stage of avant-garde?
That was Don DeLillo,It bleeds into someone's point about the terrorist replacing the artist.
