ok- sure. that argument is very sensible.
maybe i missed something- but why do we care that  advertisers are
interested in art [as another means to manipulate consumers]: is that
how we measure art? economically?

to some people, everything in their lives is valued according to its
worth in a currency. but isn't there so much more to being alive than
collecting money? esp. for 'creative' people.

The wild-eyed free-jazz cats put on a gig,
[deletions]
and next thing you know something of the essence of the
wild-eyed free-jazz music (mutated and translated but still there) shows up
on prime-time television selling toothpaste.

sure- to grab the glitchy audience ...

is this artistic sucess? does it mean microsound music has 'arrived'
once it's used as a soundtrack for a television advertisement?

your wild-eyed free-jazz cat is still dumpster diving for dinner ...
