>Where are the Hemmingways? The Pynchons? Where is the Dostoevsky of the digital age? Looking back it was kind of a short run and it makes sense. The age of the writer was sandwiched between the invention of the printing press and the internet. We have Mark Twain to McCarthy and that's it.
Youre a naive idiot if you think that we could still produce le great art anymore. You know the first non verbal lesson that we learn in film or any other art school is that we will never be a great artist, that everything is decaying, and we're advancing towards grand annihilation. Why do you think that every literature, cine, music are either good or bad? Because we can only measure them by entertainment level, for any artistical attempt would be seen as a useless pseud take (which it did) by pretentious people. Wanna now why? Because 'artist' that lived in our era right now are not an 'artist'. They are copycat, a fraud. In any metrics they are not even in the same level as the modernist artist from 60 years ago. The supplementary that was given to them are not sufficient enough to make them an artist, for example, how much of these 'artists' that were grown with poetry? Philosophy? Or bar low, the non academic one, the life? Nothing. They werent shaped to be one either. So artist is a lost relic, something that will not exist in millennial or afterwards generation, even I'd argue that the entire thing has been drying out since gen x era.
No anon. Art have been replaced by design and here we are. Everything have to be designed, planned, reasonable, everything have to be rational, serve themselves as solution, and ignore subjectivity. This is the era that we lived right now
