    I don’t know that I fully grokked the video. The thing I don’t get is what the producer of the video does consider art. I think they are saying an artist is(or can be) outside capitalism because they don’t sell their labor for wage and that art stops being art once it is produced/consumed/owned/experienced as a commodity. So art is something created by an artist and someone is only an artist if they create art that isn’t sold? So, the act of not selling + experiencing is art? Or, is art the internal feeling of a non paying audience from a non-wage selling artist , not the actual object itself? might watch it again when I have more time, I am pretty sure I missed part of the message. Either way, this is not something I’ve thought about before :)
