Art is Communication : Communicate Through Art

This is the home of all topics from the old forum. ontic-philosophy.com was the original incarnation of this site back in 2017/18 which was ran on a myBB platform. A Tree Stump (formely Ontical) saved a backup of the site before taking it down. In 2025 the forum was ressurected into a Buddypress/phpBB site on indieagora.com and then into this new Atrium custom build platform on indieagora.com. Feel free to add to the discussions and to ressurect old posts. You can also add new topics if you like.

Darn. I wonder if it will do much, and if doing much even matters or is the point? Is a tree that falls in the forest significant? Is there really a butterfly effect?

Destroying water that the public and animals rely on and use, is a very heinous crime in my view, and there were cultures that had very harsh punishments for anyone responsible for poisoning water sources and not protecting and keeping them clean for all.

None of these mild mannered explanations seem to get through to anyone, and the abuses continue because there are no consequences and the people are forced to wait on the people causing the damage to somehow stop doing what they want to do, don't care about changing, and will keep doing, it makes no sense really to think they can be convinced by basically anything.

Nothing gets through in time, sometimes not even they are done, which may still be after so much is beyond repair.

This guy got hurt, the P*l protest people were imprisoned for being against what is openly evil and wrong by a guy with a conflict of interest because he is even raising his own children as J people, and the unfairly imprisoned have been allowed to starve themselves past the point of irreparable damage to their health and future, he was not moved, these people can't be moved, they don't care at all about such things, so I think the ordinary folks should not be the ones hurting themselves for the sake of convincing villainous psychopaths of anything.

Some more very clear and not personally harmful to ones health and safety type propaganda that informs people and instructs them on possible plans and solutions and how to go about them, even if necessarily a little obscured to protect oneself and continue to have it spread around, might have been more effective and useful that absorbing sh*t and toxic waste into the body.

People still naively think that these people controlling these systems and causing these issues are their friends and protectors who could help them, when they seem to rather be open enemies who need to be regarded as such and hostile, you can't ask a N*z* or a Vichy Government official for help, they are gone, there is no more help from these people, this is past the point of these all revealing themselves as not the friends of the population, but their tyrannical overlords wishing them harm and to literally eat and drink sh*t in a hovel or die. I dread depending on them for anything, and people need to find every way to fight a war already underway against them, but they just aren't able to come to grips with that, and it is getting worse by the day really, these are practically invaders who are forcing their will into creating toxic and deadly conditions in every way, and will brutally defend their regime, no matter what parties they pretend to be and distract the people with, they consider themselves apart.

There is no feasible way to solve all the numerous problems without authoritarians bypassing all the rules somehow in favor of the people, which is highly unlikely and improbable or basically impossible to ever really exist in real life, or people finding alternatives to dealing with these problems that bypass the people causing them, because those people are vicious and will at first quickly entangle people in unaffordable legal struggles that eat up entire lifetimes, so it just can't be approached the way that they say it should be, that is a deliberate trap to waste precious time so that those with more resources can quickly accomplish what they want and continue without being disturbed all that much.

If someone is attacking your family and straight up killing them, it is obvious that such a person is no friend and can't be easily dealt with through limp efforts like protests and blocking them with legalities they largely create and control and freely change and manipulate to achieve whatever they want. If someone is constantly working harm, there have to be other ways for human beings to deal with that, without exposing themselves or putting themselves or their families in danger by being open enemies and targets for lawfare or other forms of attacks, from smear campaigns and character assassination attempts to full blown ones that big corporations and lobbying groups seem to fully initiate, since they operate like gangsters and an army or intelligence agency.

Some Manga and Manhwa and art from around East Asia in modern times can be especially attractive:



They seem to pander to a general European and Caucasian audience by making the characters very commonly look more Western or deal with Western and European themes very frequently. They really have heavily embraced self-denial and Western affirming art and characters to empathize with, but perhaps everyone on the Earth has for around 80 to 100 years or so, but increasingly after WWII.

Banksy is an aesthetic conservative, even though his politics are radical. Much contemporary gallery art since the mid-20th century leans toward abstraction, influenced by artists such as Jackson Pollock, where meaning is indirect and interpretation open-ended. Banksy is the opposite. His images are figurative and immediately legible: children, soldiers, policemen, balloons, rats. They communicate a clear visual argument in seconds.

Banksy’s work belongs to an old tradition of public art. It resembles the satirical prints and visual storytelling of artists like William Hogarth; pictures that were designed to be understood quickly by a broad public rather than decoded by specialists. Even within graffiti culture, where much work consists of abstract calligraphy, Banksy stands out for producing narrative images that anyone can recognise. His imagery prioritises clarity, symbolism, and direct communication.

This may explain his extraordinary popularity. After decades in which contemporary art has become ever more abstract and conceptual, Banksy’s work looks strikingly traditional: it depicts recognisable scenes and conveys an obvious message. The paradox is that while his politics are rebellious and anti-establishment, his visual language is familiar. In effect, Banksy pairs radical commentary with a conservative visual aesthetic, reviving an older, figurative style of public art that audiences instinctively understand.

Sorry to go all Brian Sewell, but I've often said his work leads the viewer around by the nose, and it's no more deep than the spray paint he uses.
The technique is impressive, but it's only edgy enough to become a print on the most bourgeois living room walls.

0:24 It's a commonly held fallacy that the UK has the concept of a legally binding name or even of a surname at all, your name is whatever you want it to be. Of course calling yourself Mickey Mouse will create problems when you have to identify yourself as for example the holder of a bank account you created when calling yourself Donald Duck. Similarly trying to obtain a passport under a name different to the one your parents registered on your birth certificate as the name they wanted you to use would be tricky. That's where legal procedures such as swearing an oath before a Commissioner of Oaths or a deed poll come in.

The whole Banksy anonymity thing is pure BS. The press liked preserving the myth because it made a good story. Nobody else would be given such an honour.
