Well, the evidence offered that university artists tend toward a particular conception of art is that Duchamp and Cage are found there, implying that where you find _them_ you find that conception. So I'd venture to guess that your feedback loop excludes them-- otherwise you wouldn't be essentializing them by using their names as broad opposition to the "mysterious skill". Cage wrote a lot of different kinds of music. -Jonathan > > > _______________________________________________________________________ > | Mathieu Bouchard ---- tél: +1.514.383.3801 ---- > Villeray, Montréal, QC _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
