Part 2","description":" \r\nWelcome one and all to Professor Metal's Irate Debate and Calamitous Commentary with The Philosophical Chain Gang\r\n \r\nToday's Episode is Art and Subsidization: Who is paying the Piper? Episode 2\r\n \r\nSean and Ryver talk about the possible consequences of over-saturation of art funding\r\n \r\nBruce and Sean discuss how this relates to the subjective value of art\r\n \r\nThe Philosophers examine the idea of art that is not appreciated during the time or life of the author\r\n \r\nSean and Ryver talk about the category of movies known as “Cult Classics”\r\n \r\nBruce explains the idea of how a movie is determined to be successful\r\n \r\nRyver talks about the difference in standards amongst movie directors\r\n \r\nSean discusses how we approach movies as both an entertainment medium and art form\r\n \r\nBruce proposes an issue with the distinction between entertainment and art\r\n \r\nRyver addresses the issues concerning these categories\r\n \r\nSean interjects that there are also dark sides to the art community\r\n \r\nRyver expands on art dealership as an example of this dark side\r\n \r\nSean and Ryver discuss the paintings of dubious provenance stemming from World War II\r\n \r\nThe Philosophers talk about the use of art as a way to make large sums of money whilst doing no actual creation of content\r\n \r\nRyver and Bruce address the associated value of media such as music or movies, specifically as relates to piracy\r\n \r\nThe Philosophers bring up artists that literally create their own money, such an Banksy and Emperor Norton\r\n \r\nSean transitions into a discussion of how the digital revolution has effected art world\r\n \r\nBruce talks about how the value becomes what appreciation of the art is worth when there is no physical medium\r\n \r\nRyver expands on this by discussing the role of crowd-funding plays as a replacement for the historical system of patronage\r\n \r\nSean explains why and how Patreon makes it possible for artists to be supported for whom systems such as hermitage would not work particularly well for\r\n \r\nRyver explains what Data-moshing is, and how this relates to what is called remix culture\r\n \r\nSean expands on this to explain glitch art\r\n \r\nBruce and Sean talk about how this is both similar to and distinct from physical art media\r\n \r\nRyver goes on to discuss how a similar model to crowd-funding is used in creation, both in remix culture and in more traditional art media\r\n \r\nSean questions whether or not the artist involved in remix culture are themselves creating the art or, if monetary gain is to be made, if it should be made by the original artists\r\n \r\nThe Philosophers discuss this question as an examination of how one could divide up these things, and whether or not some societies that have rules in place concerning this have handled it well\r\n \r\nSean brings up a slightly more old-school way of taking someone's art and making it your own: Forgery\r\n \r\nBruce posits that there is no money going to the original artist at that point, and that it largely does not matter if the value of the art is appreciation of the piece of art in questions\r\n \r\nRyver counters with the idea that the value of the art itself stems from the authenticity of the piece as much as the piece itself\r\n \r\nSean takes the last word to discuss funding projects that we feel are important to the world, such as Professor Metal's Irate Debate and Calamitous Commentary with The Philosophical Chain Gang, and how this funding can help each of us improve our lives as both intellectual and emotional beings. He also discusses the benefits of art to share experiences, such as what the artist has experienced that the viewer may wish to understand without needing to actually experience them, such as the horrors of war.\r\n \r\nAnd as always please give us your honest review on iTunes and Stitcher.
