Thanks Bob... these times are a changin

I was surprised at my reaction during particular parts of the reading. One in particular in the beginning of the reading was when he suggested there has been a shift from the ideology of “What can we make that is new?” to the “How can we make do with what we have?” I feel as though there has never been a shift from one to the other. Both have always been in play throughout history. Art, which in my opinion is a combination of forces that impact the artist and the direct results of the time and place that they originated from. The political struggles of the age come out in the work, the atrocities of war appear as well, and because we are in a time when new doors are being opened by technology, do not mean that there has been a shift. It simply means that there is only more information, more impacts, more influences to be internalized. In times of chaos and confusion, things break apart. I see this as one of those times.
