The Conspiracy of Art
Wednesday, May13th, 2009
Two great quotes from Baudrillard’s “The Conspiracy of Art”:
In a way, it {art} is worse than nothing, because it means nothing and nonetheless exists, providing itself with all the right reasons to exist.
Montesquieu once said that “the people can become so enlightened that they are no longer indifferent to anything.” Well, it seems that the people are just enlightened enough to choose to remain indifferent to certain things and to avoid the moral danger of being concerned by anything.
