The Artist in a War and Market Culture

Artists are generally despised because the work we pursue does not fit into the logic of the market or the arithmetic of war. Artists pursue the mysteries and the limits of consciousness and seek to make objects of beauty. We explore and advocate for more sensible, more imaginative and more loving ways of existing. These pursuits fall outside of the realm of the salesman and the soldier and are therefore disdained.

We return the disdain. We loathe the lamentable mind of the consumer zombie and the pitiless pisswater brain of the mercenary and the soldier. We pity them and consider them enemies of Life and of the Sacred.
