I begrudgingly grant your point. And I have already given the craftspeople their due -- these are beautifully done. My own point, however, continues to be aimed more at corporate thinking than what the artist chooses to do. Because in these days of cutting arts funding with an axe, it's about survival.

This art is the result of people's efforts. To devalue this is to make them lesser folk compared to the classical starving artist. Is that really right, or is that just a comforting rationale for self-superiority?
The classical triple-duel between artists, scientists, and businesspeople continues.

Thank you, my friend. You just codified my position. Yes, I agree that this is well done and entertaining...for what it is. But anyone who really believes that "art for art's sake is useless" has no real understanding of the function of art OR the artist. Even the "useless" stance is a comment for thought. Mr. Lee, a marvelous director, obviously understands this very well. Disney is the prime example. And now through these short films, BMV is carving out its own territory.

They're fun to watch. Who cares if BMW financed it? Someone had to. Art for art's sake is useless, anyway.

I'm guessing this will not be a popular stance. But....This "film" series is nothing more than a glorified BMW promotion with high-end filmmaking technique. It's a brilliant marketing move for the auto industry...it's a frightening comment on the role of creative entertainment in the world. Haven't we had enough corporate influence masquerading as art? |
