that's clown paint
We can't escape the commodity relations. For the fate we start as freelancers or to entrepreneurs.
What a show that will others believe they're owed entertainment. Owed amusement, owed kiddie pool play.Such is a means that will never end, of large waves of attention economies that will move in and out with much whimsy.
Fame, Infamy, and Attention Economising. It all happens at once; performance metric emergences shake like winds. Commercial platforms yearn for it, long for it, and call for it.
Now, I shall quote, as we go through these circles, and waves. To what we call the tautological summoning of algorithm
"One of the worst things that can happen to an artist is becoming unintentionaly famous on the internet. Nobody is in control of it, and when it occurs, it’s a completely destructive force that endangers you and your work due to the nature of the majority of people online. The macro-level behaviour of social media is sick and twisted and directly/indirectly pursues the suffering and torment of others as entertainment. It doesn't seem to matter if you “embrace” momentary celebrity or not. It will punish you, hunt you, grift off you, and make up stories about you regardless. There is a sense of entitlement from the viewer that they are owed entertainment constantly from you. That all work you do is immediately “open source”, available to anyone, and ready to make a buck off of. Any rejection of this is considered elitist and antisocial, and the acceptance is considered “selling out”. You can’t win, and in general, nobody I know that has had the spotlight thrown on them really wants that. We all know it’s horrible."
Either you lean out as a novelist or lean in as a hackneyed ghostwriter/hack. I can go on and on, even though this line can be blury as our material conditions differ.
I don't think I can argue better with the reality of a macro sociological activity. Even as a micro or meso level. A pluralistic phenomenon of many minds that don't want to be interupted with social interaction. With that account, this cool-hunting from anti-elite elitism will always be held under the spectre of hyper-measurement of Taylorism.

Yet as the bees expressing hive conciousness and moving back and forth, we follow commodified streams of clout and attention, seeking community.

From the crude distinction with have to move with these sociological currents, from the
Personal Canon of good artists copy ai artists _____ (Look i don't make the names okay?)
An illustration made for a company’s marketing blog, where the intention is to just have some image, any image to draw the reader in. While the illustrator may have more serious ambitions for their work, the client is often indifferent to it. They just need an image because people click links with images
A stock photo of a generic object—a lily?—intentionally created to be repurposed in another visual work
A portrait serving a straightforward functional purpose (corporate headshot, wedding photos), retouched in generic ways (lens correction, white balance)
Marketing copy for a new beauty brand’s product page, software release announcement, &c
Royalty-free “lo-fi chill beats” for a YouTuber to put in their video
An editorial illustration made for the cover of The New Yorker, or a painting included on the cover of the NYRB, where the emphasis is on expression, meaning-making, and interpreting a concept or feeling in a visually memorable way. The artist is encouraged, even expected, to have a distinctive style and approach
A photograph by Wolfgang Tillmans of lilies in a plastic water bottle, instead of a vase—where the goal isn’t simply to depict these objects neutrally, but evoke something through their juxtaposition (why aren’t the lilies in a more conventionally beautiful vase?)
A portrait photograph by Peter Hujar, Robert Mapplethorpe, or Nan Goldin. All 3 depicted LGBTQ subcultures at a time when being visibly gay/queer, or deviating from existing gender norms, was poorly understood and highly stigmatized
Ambient music by Brian Eno, which—like the royalty-free lo-fi chill beats—are meant to be background music, but are also a statement that Eno is making about what music is/isn’t/can be
The distinction here is between art as commodity and art as cultural agent. Think commercial art versus fine art. Copywriting versus literary writing. The same type of thing (illustration, photograph, paragraph, song) can aspire to different purposes."
These commodity relations are the reality that we have to deal with; it respects us or it does not."

- "Art consumed as a commodity, or used to sell a product. For many people, these kinds of works might not qualify as “art” at all, because they’re not intended to create an autonomous aesthetic experience. Their aesthetic qualities are often subservient to a functional purpose. This category of art includes:

- Art that isn’t consumed but experienced aesthetically. These artworks have the capacity to alter our perceptions: of ourselves, certain concepts, the history or present or future of the world. Many of my favorite visual artworks reorient my perception of beauty (making a beautiful thing boring, making an ugly thing interesting); many of my favorite literary artworks change my perception of morality (by depicting the outcomes of invisible injustices, perhaps) or time. These works are more culturally ambitious, and has a certain amount of cultural agency: It can intervene with the world and change it, and change us. I use agency deliberately here—as the historian Ron Richardson writes about object agency, we don’t just “use” objects in the world; “we too are changed by the objects we engage with.” This category of art includes:

(Bonus, Kyles Video on aesthetic elitism auteur theory and vulgar auterism) It became to new norm. Ain't this the circle of commodity fetishism?
He said that being hack does not invalidate being an artist. Hmm, thinking about The Great Gatsby writer being a copywriter and Shakespeare doing lewd crowd-pleasers. Along with Hemingway being a mass communicator in journalism.
May only warn of the perfect commodity cicularity. Imperfection
of foundherent phenomonal exploration.

Wow, It undergo's our IP structure of our

So this powerpoint is x just y, it's merely a thought termination cliché at its purest, the eliminative materialism and the numbers going up with the erotic compute, oh la la!
What a life of streams of conciousness that they want, hoo bo.
