Fuck art lets dance……..

So when I was 18 this was my favourite tshirt, not for the material (majority nylon) but because when I wanted to feel good I danced like snoopy, head in the air, just for me. It had the loaded word ‘STIFF’ in a circle over the heart and lungs and fuck art lets dance over the guts. That’s the body of the work. I can’t do anything to stop the 00001 % from being fuckheads who just want me to consume their shyte and die of cancer on time but I can smile and dance for my own reasons and ignore their message “be mediocre, be ignored and just consume with a frown.” So what is art? Although I do love to dance, I love art/creativity more or less dance is art just harder to contemplate. I don’t think when I’m dancing (or at least I try not too hard) that’s my guiltless pleasure.

So Why Mr Spalding as a model???

So HARDCOPYWRITE: my right to use analogue copies of media that I have played, lived, ‘owned’. To express my art, my life experience. I still own them and can I use them to explain my life experience? I have dug my groove into them by playing them, using them, living with them. I made them different, they made me different.

So the 21st century lingers on with frivolity like 100 years ago, it’s not the plastic age, but the age of plastic… not for any reason is it impossible to care about the next big thing, because it’s being micro dosed out to make the most profit with the least effort, from real estate to real improvement. When I think about buying something, it either has to be essential (like leatherwood honey) or fun (like Gorillaz vinyl). But they want to sell me nothing for something. Why do I have to rent everything if the internet isn’t 100% non losable? If i am relying on digital for 99% of my infotainment then what do i do if it inevitably fails. Sorry, I’m fine, I have hard copy of EVERYTHING that ever matters to me and I can read at a level. I found the copy of time magazine that has ‘lets dance’ Bowie on the cover after watching Moonage Daydream, it was fun to flick through, I’m just wondering what we leverage for our kids, that they still have the right to own something because it means something to their lives, or will real emotions and attachment require some sort of paid in advance of possible enjoyment.
