earlgraytayWe live in a time and place when there are so many works of art being made every day that we can't keep track of them all, even "just" the ones that their makers share with the public. And this is a good thing. Every bit of art that gets made makes the world a better place, even if some of it is really only good for the artist.
...But it makes me sad realizing just how much art- great art!- gets made, these days, for stuff that's basically disposable.
Brilliant performances on TV shows that will only last another season because they're getting killed by executives; beautiful art and fluid animation made for cartoons that are basically toy commercials; art and music made for video games that are put out every two years like clockwork....
If the greatest piece of music ever made was written for the Transformers soundtrack, how many people would notice?
