Parodies and studies on the line between art & life

Art in Vivo:

Few pieces of impactful art have aged gracefully. Even fewer artist’s reputations. To ignore quality work for the sake of a bad person involved probably means there are many buildings and roads we shouldn’t be using either.

Art is interwoven into culture. It is an infrastructure of communication. We therefore must repurpose good tools and skills we learned from those with poor taste in their personal affairs. We must use these lessons with better judgement and a more strict moral adhesion. It’s the infrastructure we all operate within. We cannot let Artificial Intelligence be the only "thing" to learn from those artists that have gone before us. It’s our duty to learn the good along with the bad so that we may prevent future evils.

We “trace” the artists that came before us. We play the same melodies as the great musicians of old. The tropes of great wordsmiths play out in our real lives. The quality of excellent art often transcends the line between art and life. And if you stare too long, that line will become quite blurry.

Art shaped the world. I’m sharing my learnings from parody and study.
