I have just noticed my tendency to make my work appear to be “higher”or“deeper”. As if superficiality is something bad.
The root cause of this tendency comes from the long years of studying and competing in art schools. That the art schools environment incentivizes “higher” and “deeper” art. So a person comes from art school aren’t even aware of what could be wrong with this base value trajectory of pursuing.
The art schools get the value direction from the entanglement with the market they serves, I get it. But it’s potentially very problematic.
Does “higher” or “deeper” means it’s correct or useful?
Does depth actually has utilities?
If so, what?
刚刚在看一个漫画，故事背后的内核很有深度，但是表达的手法却浅显易懂。或许这就是网络时代容易传播的高尚艺术形式吧。
这和我做的事情很不一样，我制造的是一种解谜一样的体验。观众不会像平时上网一样直接得到答案，而是需要想象并带入创作者的心境才会得到与作者共情的某种肌肤之下的感受。
很多观众习惯了快销感官刺激的轰炸，在看严肃艺术品的时候时常就忽略了这些作品都是某个人在缓慢的过程中一笔一字一步慢慢做出来的，而人究竟是在什么样的心态、认知下会做出如此作品和此中决定呢？
我在现代生活中从不同的角度折磨、观察、解剖自己的不同部位，并细致地展示这个过程，却时常得到的只是观众对形式刺激的快速响应。
真悲伤，思之令人流泪，想之令人颓废。
