I don't think it necessarily means they have to be flamboyant, but I think a lot of times it does push people that way...but with all this, I mean, it's really hard to have general statements because, every person is different and every artist has a different way of presenting their art.

I think the fear of taboos are essential for Gaga because it's something she presents herself around.

About high and low art...well, what I've found is that, it's kind of hard to really explain that to people. In painting, a lot of people describe it as the difference between creating illustration, and then someone creating new ideas on a canvas. Example: Thomas Kinkade versus someone like Marcel Duchamp.

I don't really divide art into what's easy and hard to understand, and I don't divide creativity that way either.

In presenting her purpose, I don't really think Gaga is preoccupied with trying to be artistic in a way that it will make people think and interpret what she is trying to say. IMO her main goal is to portray herself and what always made her feel unwelcome and uncomfortable in the world that we live in.

However with Ayu, I think a lot of times, that's exactly what she wants. And a lot of artists are that way. They want you to think, and try to figure it out, or they want you to think and interpret for yourself, and that's cool too.

Both ways for me have their merits, so I don't really mind either one. In this case, person to person, it will always come down to personal preference. But I think it's important for people to realise that neither one is really better than the other, just different.

Just like people and PVs. Some people always want the really deep, hidden meanings, disguised symbol PVs, and other people just want them to be entertaining and fun and stuff. I see this in conventional art too. I work and study in a gallery right now, and it's interesting. We'll have works in, and you always have a mix of opinions, but one thing I noticed is that some people, like to understand what they see like, instantly, and if they don't, they hate the work...and then other people, will love all the mystery and it really amplifies what they see, and makes them like it more.

I find that divide really interesting, and it happens like with every show we have lol


For PVs...I'm a balance person. I like both...I think Ayu has a good balance of deep and not so deep PVs lol and, for me at least, Gaga mixes them those ideas together in her PVs...


and I agree! I think GREEN would have worked better without the dance as well. It was so cheesy too! Or they could have had another scene with the two of them, or something...whatever! lol it failed.


(oh and about my friend...yeah...he's not an artsy person...he likes to see something and understand it immediately lol)
