Some of my favorite art is art made from used things, natural or man-made. Seems if you have a large enough budget(hint, hint) you can astound the world with some huge monstrousity and make a name for yourself. Not nessesarily ART.Also if you have enough technological expertise and the finances to purchase the newest latest greatest electronica gadgets i.e. photography and video and recording equipment.You can up-one-manship everyone if they do not have the equipment or technique you are using. Again not nessesarily art. Competition? EGO? The driving force behind alot of it? SURE, I,m going to participate at a level i can have self respect for, afford and be as ecologically responsible as possible(not) You wouldn't be here reading this! My next photograph or video may be of one of the largest landfills in America. Or India or Mexico where they strip salvaged used computer parts. What are we really doing? What is the "REAL" end result? Does your art comply with being ecologically responsible? Recycled? Re-used? used matierials? Using used or otherwise landfill bound objects and materials? Electronica is crap, it will upgraded be and obsolete technology next year. "Ceci Moss" Cassettes 101 BRAVO!…… Find the already used idea and materials and Revive and re-use and re-invent it!
