Re: [microsound] Business Art (was iConsume)



hi

During the hippie era people put down the idea of business - they'd
say, "Money is bad," and "working is bad," but making money is art
and working is art and good business is the best art"

Andy Warhol

warhol is the perfect figure to bring up in this discussion. most
would agree he was a sucessful artist [with all the conflicting
criteria that implies]. most would also agree he was a successful
businessman [his 60s studio was called 'the factory' for more than
it's past use].

business was a part of his art, definitely. one thread in his
multi-dimentional artwork is the dehumanizing alienation of consumer
life.
