KAPROW Response

Allan KAPROW: The Education of the Un-Artist Part I and Part 3

Art had definitely changed over the past years. As each generation passes art evolves new meaning of “what is art?” arise. The constant debate will continue on for years to come. This reason maybe because most of what people call art today may not be seen as art if it were happening in the past. Kaprow mentions back around 1969 that all art is art. Whether it is anti or pro, it is all-inviting.

From the text which seem to forecast the obsolescence of "art" and "the artist" my interpretation is that technology will be able to generate art. This removes the power from the controller i.e. artist and placing it in the hand of something that doesn’t possess the same emotional and thinking abilities like humans do, like artists do. However I do not totally see artists and art disappearing because any form of art (music, film, dance) requires a vision and a performer to make it come to life. Artists have the ability to capture many followers. For example musician can reveal political messages thorough there music to help create thought in the minds of the masses. This system should continue to inspire the upcoming generations to make this world beautiful and right.
