One of the themes in the link below ( http://www.ubu.com/historical/wrtma/about.htm ) is the question at the top of this post. After listening to the discussions I realized that I DON’T make art because of a need to communicate, or to make something beautiful. When it comes right down to it I make art because I want to see what happens when I try something new. I’m curious and I want to surprise myself. If something communicative or beautiful results….all the better… but they are side-effects of the experiments.I don’t think other responses…including making money…are wrong, but they aren’t what motivates me.
Feel free to answer below or expand on the question in your own post.
Why do you make art?
