That’s a very hedonist way of seeing the production of art. I can think in all of this performance art which the pleasure in them is seeing the joy of him or her, or how super human he or she is, because of the psyco-body endurance of him/her. That’s something that will stay there, in that moment. It is something that can not go further. It is not something you can take to your own life. Is like the virtuous or the carismatic men , you get fascinated, but is not something that you can bring to the level of your own life. This narcisistic way of doing art, is the same in the other direction with this way of making the espectator be the protagonist. We have to go further and exceed this hedonistic “I” / “you” forms. It’s not about “me” the artist , is not about “you” the spectator. It is about something that is not us but we have in common. That will be a change.

What I find interesting is to take the advantage of the time based arts, where normally it is this generosity of the spectators when they go to a performance, to give the time seeing soemthing and they stay until the end. It is not always, but at least it is more chance that what occurs with exhibitions of objects, that if they don’t catch the spectator at the first look they are just going to passs by to the next thing. So time based arts have the power of having the time to explore how it is to construct an experience. An object depends more on the spectators choice to have that time , which nowadays is pretty difficult . The people what they want is immediacy. Facebook, twiter … get used us to that instantly way of relation, where what counts is more in what you can do rather in what you do. Get focused in the “look how I feel ” rather in “look what I am doing”. Is more a projection of the “I” that a compromise with what this “I ” is doing.

My corcern is how can the power of the emotional affection that time based arts can produce to make something meaningful? I mean, something that make the emotions to be integrated and not only consumed.

Nothing ever change. The purpose of art is. as always, to fake submission to power. Faking submission is a craft of art. If it is done in full awareness, with a skill and without bad conscience or any ethical or aesthetic hangover, faking submission is the only truly radical form of rebellion.

Instead of making money we should all FAKE money. FAKING money is the most beautifull, politicaly relevant work of art and, as long as forgery is sucessful, the author, maker, worker, artist, by the nature of its achievement, will stay anonymous.
