    I enjoyed your TED talk, but I think I respectfully disagree. Good art is the art that meets where you’re at to receive it, and bad art is either too above or too below where you’re at. It’s not about quality, time, or passion, imo. It’s surprise and thought blended for the receiver.

    For example, if I love a certain type of home, let’s say a home designed by a current architect in the Mid-Century Modern style. It’s influenced and derivative, but it has all of the modern conveniences and it’s a surprise to me because I love the current style of it, not the original Farnsworth Home because I don’t even know about that home. I’m thrilled with the home design, floor plan and the way my family can live in it. A reviewer would shit on this home because it’s derivative, a bit cheaply made and over done by now. I would think it’s art because I love it, but the reviewer would think it’s shit. Who’s right? I think it’s both of us.
