Were one to extrapolate the current trend in what has become acceptable for "art", one would be immediately distressed at the sight of the seemingly inexorable and undeniable rapid decline of true meaning and pleasure.

Art should be immediately tantalising to the senses, and have a clearly conveyed message.

I shouldn't need to have a curator tell me how a nondescript yellow blob on a blue background is symbolic of the transition between life and death, and how humanity is powerless over its own destiny.

It is none of that. It is a crude, base, lazy, half-baked attempt that does not deserve the square meter of gallery space it takes up.

I'm hardly saying I don't admire the progressive individuals--but they should stay just that. Progressive individuals.

Discussion: Could "art" ever encounter a singularity, and break out of this negative trend?

Is there a trend in the first place?

Does art need a singularity in order to break out of the trend?

What, to you, is art?

And anything else you would so deign to impart upon we ignorant plebs.
