I wasn't describing a kind of art. Nor was I endorsing mediocrity or insincerity or materialism or anything at all, for that matter. I'm happy to be stirring commentary (which actually was part of the intent), but I fear the point was lost.

i think art helps us understand one another it speaks in a language that the entire world can understand. if used correctly it can help bond this world and help us escape from the dullness of advertisements commercials billboards and flashing lights. just a constant flow of commercials, all flash and no substance. the kind of art you describe is what we are used to after art has become a vehicle for corporations to sell you things you dont need.

So what? ... So nothing. Why does art necessarily have to be spiritual, or even significant? Here's an idea... How about a giant weapon that fires sh-t into the emptiness of space as a greeting from the human race to anyone out there able to receive it?

oh yes, do shit, do weapons, do emptiness, call it art, so by some kind of magic you have art. Sure, very spiritual. So what?

My definition of "art":Art is the product of the following 3-step process:1. Do something.2. Call it art.3. Believe it, or convince someone else to believe it.

We seriously need more people like Tarkovsky in the world. He died way too early. We need artists who understand and can express the things they see clearly that we struggle with.

"Maybe we are here to enhance ourselves spiritually".And that's it.For those who long to understand his films, he's giving here the key.

That's your perspective.There is no separation. We are creators and being oneself is the act of creating every moment and art is the means by which we can achieve the awareness of our true nature.
