As long as you take it that way it means that anyone with an opinion or idea can choose to put something forward if they so choose.<br /><br />Tim: Wow it's kinda surreal but also really awesome to hear feedback from the man himself. Really interesting to see how my interpretation of your words get reprocessed back :)<br /><br />I think what you're saying is that the main draw for physical institutions these days lie in that they provide an immediate community, with the resources and contacts to make things work. I would say that neither of these things are strictly necessary (we are after all submitting ds106 assignments from around the globe), but that I do definitely agree with the fact that having that physical contact and immediacy is a very important component of bettering peoples' learning and the creation of work.<br /><br />A good comparison would be books, I think. People can download texts and have their Kindles these days, but there's just something irreplaceable about having the printed page in your hands and similarly with institutions like universities I think the case is that you "can" do something similar without it, but being there just helps.

As an art major in school I can remember wondering myself how I could ever stand out in a world where my 13-year-old next door neighbor could become "internet famous" on YouTube with no degree or experience. After working in higher ed for a few years I think my thoughts on the matter of materialized a bit more. Here's where I think the role of the university plays in a distributed (and disrupted) culture.<br /><br />The ability for folks to to learn an incredible amount all on their own is now possible. Information is no longer the currency that education can sell (at least not higher-ed, but I think at certain levels of the K-12 environment too). Much in the same way that we will never buy volumes of the Encyclopedia Brittanica again, it's foolish to think we will pay for people to divulge raw knowledge to us that doesn't already exist on the internet. But where I see the university shining is as a platform for your art and learning. Perhaps you can sing in your living room, and maybe you will be a YouTube star, who knows. But at least at our school you have the benefit of working directly will experts in the field, access to an incredible amount of equipment and tools for your craft, and a platform to display it all. This applies not just to the arts either, I only use that as an example because I find art in every field of subject. Higher education in my eyes has become the stage and microphone to allow your learning to be amplified to a global audience in an amazing way.Tim Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941279088957754339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169214547496773382.post-42388105578137302042011-10-21T18:18:57.976+09:002011-10-21T18:18:57.976+09:00I fully agreed!!
Especially for your feelings for ...I fully agreed!!<br />Especially for your feelings for some kinds of galleries ... you absolutely said what I feel for those craps!<br />I feel like those "art" galleries are kinda labeling artworks like "high-end brand items" by treating those artworks that way.<br />Which could be the best way for keeping the artwork as an objective property as long as possible, but IS IT REALLY ACTIVATING ITS DEAL OF EXISTENCE?<br />Artworks are NOT for just walking through in front of them; they could be more than that, such like entertainments, atmosphere designers, communicators, etc.<br />And yeah, of course, artworks are NOT only that, either ... actually, we never can label what "art" is, I believe.<br />Besides, like possibly most of art-majors have already learned, according to M. Duchamp, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Duchamp_Fountaine.jpg" rel="nofollow">even a pissing-pot can be an artwork</a>! lolmorita.tujhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216534268246136530noreply@blogger.com
