Due to summer and my own situation (Zaar Riisberg) we took a 2 month hibernation. We are working on a small graphic novel type thing for the site, and I am working on getting more video art in. There will be a few new contributors as well as the usual suspix. It is all about art, social issues and making people think. What passes for art today is shaite: either to explanatory or too wrapped around its own arse. Focus, right? Maybe not - lots seem to be exploring the unfocused. IG still seems to be the place to post, although the majority of its users does not know art or light, and think having followers is all the rave. I have said it before, and I will state it again - it is the ultimate insult to an artist worth his salt, to visit his or hers pf, pretend that you gawk at the inspiration (of the latest up, not the whole pf), and then point to your own feeble shit - these 'active life style profiles' or indeed 'the bloggers'. Listen to me, moron, taking a picture of your food and writing one fetid line, is not blogging. These profiles have crisp photos with very little variation and sometimes 'amazing' vistas, that surely would take the untrained eye in. Remember, these guys shoot on phones and DSLR that does most of it for them. So what do they themselves bring to it? Well, my suggestion would be 'fuck all', or perhaps the more pc 'nothing'.
We, on the other hand, invite the existential and the grave, but humor is appreciated, and so is not being too far up your own poopshute as an artist. Which means we do not agree to disagree, and we do not leave each to his own. Arrogant people will be shown the door.
This is the first weekly editorial - a news post, if you will (or must).
