I’ve always been captivated by the beauty of various artistic forms and combining them to get something new, something unique. However, it never occurred to me that something I call an art form may have been seen as something completely different and not as art. That’s why, it truly caught my interest when I read about how music and art were formerly viewed as entirely distinct entities. I always believed that music was a form of art, but it’s fascinating to watch how this belief has changed over time. Another thing that really made me really excited when reading the text was the mention of noise and how it was introduced by Busoni into music.
In my own films, I often experiment with incorporating different sounds and noises to create a more immersive experience for the audience. It’s fascinating to think about how artists like John Cage explored similar ideas, breaking away from traditional musical norms and embracing the raw, unfiltered elements of sound.

There is also the mention of club culture and its influence in modern day artistic expression, something that is often overlooked but apparently incredibly prevalent. I think I’ve been more exposed to how club environments can inspire creativity and foster a sense of community among artists and musicians, through this class and through the concept of ‘Algoraves’. A club nurtures a dynamic space where ideas are exchanged freely, and boundaries are pushed to create innovative works of art. I personally don’t prefer going to clubs, but I feel like I’m missing out when I’m reading such pieces.
