art schools, critics--- and I'd have to say, justifiably so. Video is the preferred "way," and it is, from all I've seen (and it's a lot), quite shallow compared to film (meaning a lengthier work with narrative, dialogue, editing, etc.).
We've seen the death of popular music. Certainly, there's plenty of listenable stuff out there--- LOTS of it.
But is it something I'd pay to own? That I'd listen to next year--- or next week when Pandora (or another service) provided me with new options?
Black culture, that rescued white folks from the terminal boredom of their watered down music for over a century, similarly has no answers: hip-hop is musically stilted; rap is ugly and toxic lyric spread over boring music.
Look further afield: architecture. No lack of ingenuity in Gehry, Piano, Koolhaas, etc.
But after Bilbao--- what's left to say?
