Just had to boost off about how derivative most art-student writing is. "Oh these dusty photos of the old library where I used to work"; images of moth-eaten taxidermy subjects; ponderings which are admitted to be 'pointless' - 'oh but it's all so lovely.' Yes, well done on enjoying life. But it's not work. It's not DOING anything. it's just self-indulgent crap. More viscerality is needed, more honesty, more truth. More dynamism. Check out the Postmodernism Generator: http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/ and Dawkins' article at: http://richarddawkins.net/articles/824-postmodernism-disrobed
Not that I don't want to get into arts too, even though I'm a science graduate, but I want to get into it in a dynamic, Kermode-kinda way.
