That Ballard stuff about modern life essentially being an enormous novel is probably why art's no longer relevant. Trump and Brexit and Q have replaced the books and films and paintings.
I think they have replaced them. People have a stronger connection to them than they do to any works of art. Art's much more disposable than Trump currently is.
Plot is completely unrealistic though.but i agree Trump is the biggest show in America right now.
Reason, as a single vision, sees the prosaic Sun and compares it to a golden coin. The imagination, though, has double vision. It sees the golden disk yet it also witnesses the choir of heavenly angels that it contains. The imagination is the unlimited visionary capacity that we all possess. It is accessed by fully opening our senses.
there's loads of new avantgarde to order on boomkat
