Not Hiding, Yet Hidden

Meaning is dynamic, or else it is lost.  It transcends limits placed upon it, or withers.

Where once authentic artistic expression was discovered, now find only political expression that appropriated and absorbed it.  It cannot transcend the limits of its narrow vision and purpose.

One is never told where to look, but knows what is real.

Outside

Connectivity does not unify cultural visions.

Rather, it renders them more distinct, and distant.

Unknown Extent

The mind imagines.

It is then a matter of drawing the future into the present.

Distant Sight

Expression of perspective requires an expenditure of effort.

The greater the effort necessary, the less likely the rewards will be commensurate with the work.

This, too, is control, and the expansion of control.

Seem and Be

Some face the real; some fabricate the unreal.

Some experience directly, while others negotiate every moment of existence through dense filters of supposition and pretense that may be utterly without foundation and self-evidently false to one with clarity of mind.  Think.

The Artist is Not Alone

The contemporary, modern person has a single, essential choice to make.

It is a simple and difficult choice: to live and act autonomously or to be a complete puppet, strung to innumerable forces of control, and especially to those beyond one's knowledge and influence.

Stakes

Rather than observe expression, determine what is not being expressed.

Consider the reasons why visionary works are not being seen, or heard, or expressed. Here find the origins of a continuing diminution of perceptual awareness, and of decline in cultural experience.
