Profound statement by Paglia at 16:40 : "Precisely, our aesthetic experience are now in industrial design but this is worrisome because there's no spiritual development from contemplating the Iphone."
It is amazing how many of us are really thinkers but not do-ers. We in the internet are truly Athenians. Camille Pagalia, such a blossom between stillness and motion.
As an atheist, I am encouraged by Camille Paglia's views. I like her proposal to enourage teaching traditional art works in the elementary school curriculum.
Jian loves her. I agree, of course, with Paglia when she says that there is no reproduction of the experience that one may have while inside a museum gallery, I simply offer this recommendation above her mention of art reproductions in books: the Google Art Project.
lol Revenge of the Sith, what bad movie. But I understand the argument that it may be great art. The problem with George Lucas is that he doesn't really do anything except come up with ideas and give money to great artists that realize his visions for him. He is more like a Medici or a great patron of the arts from the Renaissance. I wouldn't really call him an artist, but I get what Camille is trying to say even though I really despise Revenge of the Sith.
Omg I love everything this women does. She's right, gadgets being our primary mode of aesthetic experience is soulless, and also very nihilistic, because it is very isolating. Think of all the stupid satirical cartoons condemning phone addiction.
CBC forgot to edit out the truth @ 14:45: "All of us in the West need to be concerned about the passion in jihadism….We are a ripe target for disaster….because of the vulnerability of our advanced technology to a determined attack by small bands of people who can simply paralyze the power grid and throw the entire culture into anarchy." Jian laughs: "I don't have that much more time with you here."
I thought about that too. Our generation still can apreciate art, but it's mostly music. Look at the masses that go to music festivals and even the orchestra halls are full when they play a symphony. Not to speak of the tons of people who love films.
Jole Schütz You've inadvertantly proven her thesis. Art for the non introspective masses - "non complentative art" I'm no paragon of intellectuality, I might be a dimwit. But I can quietly surrender to the sublime. It can bring joy, awe, it's kept me alive.
The final Revenge of Sith scene was brilliant - visually at least. It's too bad it was the only worthwhile thing in the entire horrendous prequel trilogy of bad writing, bad acting & comatose pacing.
I was a massive fan of certain parts of the film and particularly the visual aspects ( and the last section as Paglia describes was superb) ..but as per the other films in the prequel trilogy script and acting were ordinary to say the least.
I've read several of her poorly written articles, and she does sort of ramble about nothing 90% of the time in her live interviews, as she does in her articles. She's a slightly less annoying, but more a insane version than Ann Coulter (difficult to imagine). Jackson Pollock paintings being amazing? He sprinkled dots onto a canvas. A little kid could do that. Van Gogh paintings are SHIT, and I'm an art fan! Her philosophy is wrong in the same way a devout Christian is wrong in that she has a certain opinion of that which is artistic or right, and she wants to push it up everyone's asses and babble like a lunatic. Every second of the Star Wars prequels were terrible, and only made to leech money off of nerds who liked the original movies. Old art works are beautiful to look at in person, but just fucking get over it already. Most people don't care. Talking like a senile weirdo isn't gonna get young people to care.
Sunyata In that case, my mistake. Sorry to butthurt you so much by making fun of your boyfriend. You really need to take that stick out of your ass. Whereas I lightly make a comment about something that sucks, you defend it with ravenous conviction. That's to be admired in a queer art lover. Most normal people would look at his art and think a two-yr-old made it at first glance. What's with the Einstein stuff? Is that your idea of insulting someone? C'mon, boy, you can do better than that. :P
Love Camille! Brilliant. She's one of the greatest intellectuals.
I love her. Even when I do not agree with her, she has a way to make you understand her point.
i was about to write the same
me too scooby...she is great.

brilliant woman, courageous, thanks for interview
I love the way she talks, it's grown on me in the course of an afternoon! Let her talk and stop interrupting!
Her grasp on vocabulary is simply unmatched.
It is amazing how many of us are really thinkers but not do-ers. We in the internet are truly Athenians. Camille Pagalia, such a blossom between stillness and motion.
Her mouth is NEVER still!
Glittering insights!
I am a huge fan since 1990!
Super happy to have her shape my understanding of feminism and many other issues of our time.
I love Q!!! Contents and elegance of the spirit
Love her!

I just adore her eloquence.
Gadgets and Technology is the new art. No spirituality. Very interesting discussion.
love her
"I certainly am an intellectual and one of the last left". Yes, Camille, you are. Thank you for saying something unpopular but very true.
Just brilliant.
I'm conservative and I love her books and this one too
She’s the best.
Jian loves her.

We are moving from a rich ecological environment to a rich technological environment.
Rual - ?Raul? - Yes! I love her! And I have my disagreements with her. But...I love her!

Part of the point she's making I think
Amazing woman!

Jion Gomeshi was really good
design has become an end in itself, facile rules! it was predicted by Sausmarez in early 60's
I'd love to hear her and Christopher Hitchens talk!specially on the Clinton's!
He's dead so that won't be happening sadly.
It's her hangup on painting that seems to generate her position. Why painting?
I thought about that too. Our generation still can apreciate art, but it's mostly music. Look at the masses that go to music festivals and even the orchestra halls are full when they play a symphony. Not to speak of the tons of people who love films.

Painting is still relevent
Because we live in a visual culture. Humans are predominantly visual.

Oh, no, not a "value judgement"!
Female Nietzsche.
She appears criticising this interview in a video in the Vulgar Trader Channel xd

You're apparently fail at reading comprehension in school. I said PAINTINGS, dumbshit.

And you have to nerve to call Camille a 'weirdo'. You may be the biggest freak on UA-cam--and that's no small accomplishment. Congratulations.

Thank you.
