GMU:Critical VR Lab I - Unity Introduction/JCA: Difference between revisions

In our times art became something that in order to be valued has be filled with a ‘meaningful’ message, a political proposition. Personally it feels like decontextualising art from any environmental influence through white cube galleries in an elitist culture while demanding a re-contextualisation through ‘exterior’ information makes modern art rather inaccessible. Additionally though, it feels like that artworks are often blatant and 1-dimensional, only asking rather ‘simple’ questions or being a mere latching comment to a controversial thematic. This is a completely personal opinion and based on personal encounters. In this whole thematic one should bear in mind that art-journalism and art-critism is focused on verbalising artistic positions, and these very people have the most impact on art-evaluation and thus art-reception, sometimes even leaving the creator surprised. While it is hard to pinpoint, what I don’t appreciate about many modern artworks, I dislike the trend in arts of content being reducible to an explicit message, knowingly that this is half the story.
