what’s this all about?

What we’re engaged in is trying to distill whatever aspect of the human condition is appropriate for the story, and present it. I’ve always thought of acting as a kind of extra-dimensional anthropology. By which I mean we’re in the business of people. People interest me: what motivates them; what inspires them and what makes them happy, what makes them sad. And we’re all united by it, we’re all united by it. We’re all united by these feelings that we all feel at different times. The reason I became an actor is that I sat in the audience - in the cinema audience and also in audiences at the theatre, and I love it when you go to see something, and you enter as an individual and you leave as a group. Because you’ve all been bound together by the same experience.

-Tom Hiddleston on creating art (Nerd HQ, SDCC 2013)

This is a place for me to collect my own writing and other people’s writing on any kind of creative medium or the process of creating art of any kind.

Good, creative art is about evoking something the communal through the individual, about creating universal meaning out of personal perspective.

Call it criticism, “meta”, analysis, reactions, or rants. This is a place for critical thinking about art.

It’s for art of all kind. Click on the “Tags” page for the different categories, works, mediums, etc.

My personal blog is here.

My fandom specific Kingdom Hearts blog is here.

If you have something you think falls into this category, either based on one of the works I have covered or not, please submit it HERE!

If you have any questions, please send them in HERE.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Meaning in art is not a true or false question. You might not agree with something here, but I will endeavor to post only well thought out arguments and points.

Please feel free to reblog with critical responses! Academics is healthiest as a dialogue - but don’t just bash it if you disagree. Think about the argument, consider it, and contradict it with evidence! (I will likely reblog such well thought out criticisms!)
