Who's this Momus ? http://avclub.theonion.com/avclub3532/avfeature3532.html O: You've said the age of credible mainstream art is dead. What comes after that? M: Well, my famous quotation is perverting Andy Warhol's saying about, "In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." I say it is 15 people, that everyone's famous for 15 people. I really look forward to an age in which we upload as much, culturally speaking, as we download. Everybody is creative. It's like on that Talking Heads song "Found A Job" about how everybody becomes their own TV station and has so much fun doing that that they don't watch television any more. I think economically it's becoming much more possible, because digital technology is cheap to use, and you can disseminate your creative products around the whole world for no money on the Internet, and, you know, that allows everybody to become an artist. Whether they actually will is another question.
