yesss give me your weird creepy death metaphors for art... make that shit seem unpalatable and weird yessssss.... games are for FREAKS and we are all freaks! yesssss! YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!
i really like this observation, the idea that even though you're pinning down an idea with potentially infinite manifestations into a single definite form, because everyone who engages it has their own different experience and interpretation of it, those unmanifested alternatives appear in them. the potential isn't being aborted, more displaced or transmuted......... that's a much less depressing way to look at it
2nd manifesto to present games as dead bodies lol. Loved this.
A lot of filmmakers that make it big say in interviews that they’re simply “making the films they want to see,” and I think that’s a good idea to present, but what I don’t see people point out about that quote is how the filmmaker can never see their own film without thinking about how they made it. They make their films in the hopes that other people see what they saw when they envisioned it, but they can never look at it themselves in the same way. In this way art is both selfish (you’re often trying to present your thoughts as uncompromised as possible) and selfless (the end result is something only other people can experience with “fresh” eyes).
“Gambling: the ultimate way of rent-seeking” goes hard, I might steal that
i think it's also funny too how like sometimes i'll read a comment by a creator on their own work and then they'll revisit it years later and be like "i honestly forgot i did all that. also i don't know what i was so mad about before when i talked about it last time it was pretty cool" LOL, one thing i really liked about coming to understand death of the author as a young adult was when i realized that once the works out there it's just kinda... out here. and anyone can interpret it. not even i know everything about it just because i know what i intended and remember what stuff was meant for. that can all too easily blind me... which is part of the fun of art after all. not even i know what the heck my attempts shall create. guess we'll find out...
thanks for reading! and yeah the gambling line appeared b/c i was thinking smth like "the most efficient way to make money" but really it's more like the most efficient way to extract money from a base with "spare income" if you think about it... much to consider
yesss excellent. love the taxidermy/surgery/corpse framing. i'm enjoying watching these shared ideas pop up between manifestos re: creation, possibility, things that have yet to exist. all my homies love creating possibilities. great music too
thank you for reading! ive been thinking about it because it was the element of "art and fear" that i most liked back in the day, where it basically mentioned how it's hard to feel satisfied when you know about all the potential that was there until you had to actually make it lol. but that's the whole point... it's gotta get here somehow... or its just a myth...

a bit like words themselves if you think about it
