I liked how the reading showed that moving between music and visual art can happen naturally. It didn’t feel forced – it made sense that artists would want to use whatever way helps them express their ideas best. I thought it was cool when they mentioned how Paul Klee used ideas like “polyphony” from music in his paintings. It showed how deeply connected the two worlds can be.
The part that stood out most to me was the section on techno and club culture. I liked how clubs became spaces for both music and art, and how computers let artists mix sound, visuals, and performance together. It felt like a real shift in how creative work was happening.
I also agreed with the point that today, art and business are closely tied together. Like the reading said, success and money often decide whether someone is seen more as an artist or a musician. I think that’s just the reality now – everything is connected to capital.
Finally, the idea that energy and passion matter more than technical perfection really resonated with me. I liked how punk made it okay to be intense and imperfect. It made me think that sometimes the strongest art isn’t the most polished, but the most honest.
Overall, the reading made me appreciate how free and open creative work can be when you don’t stick to one label.
