  • That is an incredibly privileged thing to be able to say tbh.

    how? I’m pointing out the financial situation has gone to such shit that having a house and a profession that pays what a profession is worth would make you a millionaire.

    Note that I’m not saying that all professionals are millionaires or own houses; which is the fucked up part. No one is paying what things are fucking worth.



  • Comedian Tim Dillon said on his podcast last month that he signed up for financial reasons. He said he had been offered “a large sum of money” — $375,000 for one performance — and said that other comedians had been offered as much as $1.6 million. He told his detractors to “get over it,” adding, “So what if they have slaves, they’re paying me enough to look the other way.”

    This is the most fucking damning part. You’re accepting a paycheque that is so fucking small to boost an oppressive regime, for something that can barely buy a house or two in major cities? Like, if you wanted a decent house in london, 375K isn’t going to fucking cover it. Negociate properly if you’re going to sell out, at least bump it up to 8 or 9 figures. To MBS you’re literally worth the same amount of coins you’d give a homeless person.

    The difference here is that an artist has control over the medium. Every letter was put there with intent, every stroke carries meaning. Deciding not to do these things can also carry weight, and even the decision to let chaos decide is a choice.

    no they don’t. That’s my whole point that there’s artworks where the artist doesn’t have complete control over the end result, and it’s the point.

    It’s been done by Cage, people using radios in musical performances, introducing animals into artworks, using the brush like an idiot (Pollock) to achieve these things; in more modern mediums, the entire genre of rougelikes rely on chance to have certain things not be completely fixed, and emergent behaviour is a valuable aspect of creating interactive worlds that contain automatons.

    And I would gladly take pollock out of the artistic cannon if I could.
