-
- Yeah, yeah, I've fallen into the trap of speaking simply again. There is
- no per se "good" or "bad" art, it's all subjective... Nevertheless, I
- think some creative efforts show more good faith in making honest "art"
- than others. Fifty lashes from a postmodern semiotician art critic for
- me... ;-)
-
- >Good and bad are measures to be more seriously considered.
-
- That's for damn well sure. One could go on forever about what's "good"
- and what's "bad"-- major sign-system symbol analysis issues. Serious
- consideration is, however, something that I do far too much of in my
- classes to enjoy doing freelance in a medium as marginalized as an
- Internet bboard...

- Happy happy happy,
