"Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences...."

““Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) That solves a lot of problems: we don’t have to argue whether photographs are art, or whether performances are art, or whether Carl Andre’s bricks or Andrew Serranos’s piss or Little Richard’s ‘Long Tall Sally’ are art, because we say, ‘Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.’ … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art.””

- Brian Eno (via jessiethatcher)

I could reblog/post this every day as a constant reminder.

“Overflowing with pure pleasure”

Now THAT’S advertising.

“Absurdity is not a barrier to consideration. Teller and colleagues say they’ve spent time contemplating levitation and teleportation. The latter was nixed as an area for further study in part because any unique item that you would want to teleport—a Picasso, say—would have to be completely destroyed before it could be reconstituted on the other end.”

vilsenflicka:

Minns du mig?
Jag är flickan
som svarade mitt i natten,
som lyssnade,
som tog all skit,
som bara log när du hörde av dig,
som var dum nog att tro att du orkade kämpa för mig.
Så hej, jag är nu en vilsen flicka,
som gråter varenda dag,
som saknar dig som en idiot,
som inte vågar släppa in någon,
som kämpar varenda dag för att inte höra av sig.
Hej på dig, vem är du nu för tiden?
