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. -- \js [ http://or8.net/~johns/ ] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: microsound-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: microsound-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxx website: http://www.microsound.org
