While going through my files (piles, really), I came across the below text, which was performed by myself and three others 18 months ago. Now, I have no idea where the text came from: it is obviously some text I have altered (by substituting words), but I do not know what, or in what manner I did this. In a moment I am going to do a web search on the words I would never myself use (throne, "hue and cry," aristocratic). Regardless, it is an ineresting read. (whisper) The engagement obscures their movement. Subjects taken apart, theoretical. Theory is equivalence. Feelings, essentially artistic ideas, find art in life adhering to, but not entirely, logic. Ideology causes problems for serious culture. Without assistance, totality is no more than brief achievements in the world of high-current (not popular serious culture. Popular to most is individual genius. (pause) (spoken) Art, not serious culture, is a throne of contributions, occasionally from serious scientific research, occasionally the hue and cry of the superior and unknown. The aristocratic and theoretical leave a potent legacy, but total transformation remains available for few. The theoretical history of art leaves the artist a threat to serious culture, where original ideas fight the logical ones, the masses against art circles. I thought that art would be not art, but revolutionary creativity totally separated from existing culture. -Josh Ronsen http://www.nd.org/jronsen
