View on the Gap Between Art and Business Practices

Revisado: 09-28-20

Michael structured the story so that he experiences the ongoing journey of artist Jonathan Keats with the listener, and made it masterfully immersive with its detailed descriptions. I thoroughly enjoyed Michael's not unfounded doubts on Jonathan when Jonathan is seemingly unable to see eye to eye with the executives of each business pitch. The analysis on Michael's part is compassionate as he tries to rewire his viewpoints to align with that of Jonathan's ambitious, philosophical, abstract ideologies. Investigation on similar artists such as John Chamberlain were done as a comparison, while Michael provides more commentaries on the differences between trying to deconstruct technology and the corporate framework.

If compromisation between corporate molds and creative art isn't possible, and collision is the only way an artist is able to get their point across, what does that entail? How does the consumer play into all of this? Did consumer desires as a collective alter the rather narrow minds of the capitalistic corporation, or is it the other way around? The conclusion leaves a lot to think about!
