This is precisely how I felt…see, manik and I connected so strongly on the idea (at least from my point of view) that it doesn't seem to matter who was the artist and who was the audience.

And about twhid's comment on "consumption" as a bad term, well, that seems like a lexical triviality….

Last Point—> IF ART IS PCROONDSUUCMIINNGG ; WHY SHOULD ARTISTS GET PAID?

(Moreover, if art is a "vertical" activity, opposed to doctrines, patterns, and policies– "horizontal" iterative behaviors, if you will, then isn't art naturally opposed to the behavior of the commodity, the horizontal?)

I ask this particularly to people like meta et al who brought up the issue of no pay.
