Advertisments are more honost than film, television or music. They are a
refined art brut movement that is far more significant and complex in
social impact than film is today and they are more interesting to watch.
The importance of commercials or advertisments has little to do with
product being advertised. Product and capitol gain is only a commission
to attempt to subvert the viewers awareness/conciousness through a
series
of highly compact yet minimaly packaged distractions and information.
The
best commercials contain no information at all. Throbbing Gristle, PTV
and
Warhol are obsolete. This is threatening to most artists because
commercialism evolves more rapidly than art and it threatens to absorb
the
artists mosts precious work, wrap it up in plasticity and perfect it in
an
environment of simulacra. Artists should learn to exist within a
commercial
environment and exploit the benefits. It is faster than art. It is
indistinguishable from good art.
