Sorry, but this is ridiculous, and an insult to a lot of people on this list and elsewhere. As far as what Beuys or Cage said - I didn't know the former, but Cage said some idiotic things in his time. > Art or its creation is more to do with free thinking even irrational > thought often about a visual idea that does not have proof in academic > terms but initially exists as image, event or 3D, many times an artist > will create something but is unable to explain how it came into being. > Academic thought process is different you have an idea and set out to > prove it with verifiable facts. There are no "proofs in academic terms" and what you write about academia again is ridiculous. Sorry, I usually don't say this, but it seems to me you're trolling. I'm not trying to be rude, but again this is insulting. Alan (I don't want to engage further on this, but I don't understand what the point of writing on and on, with this kind of discussion. I don't know what bones mm has to pick with "academia" and really don't care at this point: this is just nasty.) _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
