the no was 1770, pog gets it with 88 XD

also i want to share this and ask if i made sense;

With the sheer amount of art that's becoming more and more available in the world, is there a danger to having everything available at your fingertips? Will we lose sense of what is bad, good, better and best art?

yes, i see a danger in it. if we were clear thinking and objective we could utilize what we have and see/understand/use it for the greater good of art, sadly most people are small, narrow-minded and unwilling to look at things outside of their comfortzones most of the time, this means while there is more beautiful wonderful frightening /haunting/ art out there there most people will only look at more of the same things they already know and when what they know is well, frankly, not that good then the problem becomes that their perspective is that this great multitude of junk is normal, is beautiful is the /best/ and ruining them for greater instances of the divine excepting maybe the occasional glimpse of it on accident and many people miss such instances

it does not do any good to take a child to the louvre if they won't look up from the comic they brought to look at the art. it does not matter if the comic is the most influential piece of literature of it's sort made in the last seventy years or a piece of trash not worth the newsprint it was made on, if that is all the child is interested in then at the end of the trip if it there was a comic book section in the giftshop then the child will want to look at that not the rest. having more art is good, but only to a point. only if the viewer is willing to look up from their book and see it which when there are so many more 'comics' about is very unlikely


but then this only covers quality and variety >>; i have no real commentary on style and theme and understanding and medium, those are something unique to each person and are unquantifiable. i am only saying that too much of a good thing is not always a good thing and that a surplus of beauty means a surplus of junk as well which makes it so much harder to find the good stuff
