a statement

Art today is like spinning a giant roulette wheel. You never know what you are going to get, you never know of it's value. It is like using a search engine. The information may or may not be useful. You are searching.
Art is:
tasting as many different foods as you can which may or may not be good,
ungraded,
unruled,
relentless,
serves no master,
controlled by no one,
free for the taking,
has no limit,
may or may not be understood,
guided and unguided,
always given a chance,
a good excuse,
raved about or rejected,
refined or lost,
searching for answers that have no questions,
having questions that have no answers,
down is up and up is down,
backwards is forwards and forwards is backwards,
you pull inwards while others shove outward,
reaching something that goes beyond the question why,
being so obviously understood and lost in the meaning,
what makes you sick,
never wrong,
never right,
always changing,
never there,
never is satisfied,
always taking and never giving,
always gives and never takes,
forgiving beyond comprehension,
unfair,
your cure,
the great scapegoat,
the expansion-less ideal,
the next step to freeing minds,
hoarding creativity,
squashing reality,
whatever you want it to be,
art.
