uh maybe I just had an idea about why my art is what it is. some context: a sentence that's been stuck in my head forever goes like "make the art/music/literature/... you want to see/hear/read/...", and I always wondered how I could find out, what that even is. and now I think maybe I didn't need to know, I'm doing it already anyway. this may need some more explanation. next toot!

I am often amused or entertained or even touched by things that later turn out to be problematic; things that seem innocent and cute and kind of random but just aren't. they turn out to be made with an agenda I don't agree with at all. they may be racist, sexist, anti-queer, whatever, I just don't catch it. so, I think, I'm making what I think of as "innocent" art. I may be mistaken, maybe I'm not the right guy to make such art, but I think my own need for such art drives my style.

some examples: helge schneider, moss and richmond from the IT crowd, lots and lots of memes, the dudebro-edgelord "cute" humor of some electronic music genres (IDM/breakcore) ... I guess in short I often get disappointed when I can no longer ignore the politics of some people or groups or subculture or whatever. I hope I don't get disappointed by myself in this way someday.

oh or maybe, also, sometimes I pick up on the problematic stuff but mistake it, because of it's cute shape, for satire, when it actually is made to reinforce the shitty shit it reproduces. this could be some kind of self-protective coping thing on my part. or a general thing that many people do to not have to let go of their favourite art stuff.

finally (I think) one problem that emerges from this need to see "innocent art" is that it makes me worry about my art being inherently meaningless because I do not confront any "real" issues through it. I wouldn't know how tbh. whenever I try to be intentional about my art, the result is awkward and clumsy and I feel bad about it.

@posiputt I think that all art is political
