"Good" and "Bad" seem like archetypes of philosophical remnants long since disproved. yet for some reason we(humans) are still clinging to idea of making a correlative link between those two myths(good and bad) and reality. i watched 2001 sunday and the special features section had an interesting interview with Arthur C. Clarke. He said something to the effect that they're making of 2001sort of forced the whole neatherthal-near futer-to way far in the future timeline so as to prepare their audience and facillitate their exceptance of taking such a quantum jump and accept the possibility of the unknown. yet there is something about society that forces humanity to ignore this question of "what is possible" on such a consistant basis that they deny the whole rhelm of possibilities. Taking your art topic into this context it makes me ponder how much of this mentality prevents society from viewing art in terms that justify the artworks inherent value instead of measuring its value based the A-moral stance that morality is an equitable measure.
