It seems to me that our new interactive medium(s) will be well-suited to making such a meaningful commentary on our current way of life. However, as the champions of the modernist/idological white-walled gallery art of the 20th century realise that they are to be (largely) consigned to the dustbin of history by the coming generation, I guess we have to expect some backlash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26740564.post-9555592810069334212010-04-17T11:07:27.878-04:002010-04-17T11:07:27.878-04:00I often find what he has to say about cinema relev...I often find what he has to say about cinema relevant and interesting.

Anyone who sculpts, writes, films, performs music, etc. should immediately be aware that unless they achieve that exceedingly rare status of master, that they are not artists.<br /><br />I find it interesting that anyone would find what Ebert has to say to be relevant in this day and age. As my daughter would say, "he is so 20th century" :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16227119890561444475noreply@blogger.com
