But if you or someone else who comes along finds them of any merit, they can of course be quoted, or linked, or referred to in some manner.William Michaelianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05945815778010124287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044014562457213009.post-8893174838407570622008-08-19T22:24:00.000-05:002008-08-19T22:24:00.000-05:00Thank you for catching the spellingerror.

Of course, to a certain degree, technology does effect the way we make art. That’s nothing new. But technology itself does not make art. People make art. And art is as much, if not more, about <I>not</I> saying than saying. It is easy to say, and to say in abundance. It is more difficult to suggest, and even more difficult to listen and then let the silence between words, between images, between experiences, speak. The desire to communicate is urgent and strong; so is the desire to be accepted, recognized, and understood. And yet so much of making art involves just the opposite. Art is a way of life; it isn’t something you do when you’re bored, or until you become interested in something else; art is everything; how can an artist be bored?<BR/><BR/>Anyway — these are some random thoughts. All of us who are artists, or who think we might be, have something to learn from each other, regardless of our age and place in society.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I was scrolling through your list of blogs, and noticed that you added one of Didi M’s blogs. Better check the spelling — it should be “Menendez.”William Michaelianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05945815778010124287noreply@blogger.com
