Low Art vs High Art, [A Paradigm Shift in action]

Contemporary art is experiencing growing pains. The established dynamic is being challenged by today's changing cultural technototems spurred on by the unapologetically democratic, universal leveler, the Internet. Shakespeare's famous line"All the worlds' a stage" has come to represent today's reality. An individual's values figure more prominently. Voices once excluded are now emancipated whether for the better is not relevant. That these opinions directly effect change on all levels is what is pertinent.














Bansky, the modern low art technician is fostering this debate through guerilla art marketing














If the word graffiti rubs you the wrong way think of low art in terms of a refashioned use of the idea of recycled reuse.
