We are living in an industrial era where money is god. Culture has become a play toy of the rich. People no longer look towards the artist to give them an experience of the transcendental. The best they can hope for is titillation. Pop art is in fashion as a result. Hiding the real meaning which is that art is dead. Abstract art is a toy of decorators. Not meant to have an impact on a viewer’s emotions. So what is left? Realism? Photography does it better. Thus artists are busy cutting and pasting. What is missing? The mysterious, elusive soul that points to the temporal nature of life.

I think the real issue is that we are in a serious state of aesthetic bankruptcy...that is true about "art" but it is also true about many aspects of our contemporary lives. Somewhere along the line, the privileged world has opted to go tik-tech, skewed the sacred for the banal which has led us to this mess. We are swimming in a sea of shit, no one knows where the shore is.
