# war-record.txt # 2011 december 3 : jsaylor most of the action here consists of taking a recording of the activity of actual war, and turning it into an abstract representation of all wars; or at least, wars of a massive industrial power against a lesser industrial power [and its constituent peoples and their cultures]. as an american alive in the early twenty first century, these are the wars i have seen on teevee screens and read about both on line and off. Q: how effective are anti-war artworks? A: if you are looking for artwork to be politically effective, you have already made the leap from art to propaganda. Q: is there a place for humor in serious artworks? A: Q: is it music? A: maybe. if not, perhaps it's a "sound artwork."
