oneweekisalongtime asked:

Do you have any uk dates coming up? Would love to see you and Dave hause do a tour together! Maybe even realise a split?

First: I love the UK. I have been away far too long. All I want in this life is to come back to the UK. Hang in there for me. This will happen.

Second: Me? And Dave Hause? A split? What a great idea!!

He’d be all “Whoa-uh-oh!” and I’d be all “Na na na na na!” and then we’d do some high-kicks and say “You’re welcome, planet Earth!” whilst taking one hell of a bow.

“Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) That solves a lot of problems: we don’t have to argue whether photographs are art, or whether performances are art, or whether Carl Andre’s bricks or Andrew Serranos’s piss or Little Richard’s ‘Long Tall Sally’ are art, because we say, ‘Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.’ … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art.”

I could reblog/post this every day as a constant reminder.

And I’m sticking it up here for people who define the “good” in Make good art in ways that I definitely didn’t intend…

In my younger and more vulnerable years, there was a band called The Robot Explosion. We played a lot of beeps and boops. There were three (3!) lineups. Who even has the time to change lineups these days?!
