It makes a lot more sense to consider Hollywood and video games as the proper successors to classical art, and to see contemporary art as only a small strand in the evolution of art.

Somehow someone managed to convince the world that Hollywood is not real art, but some other arbitrary weird stuff is.

(To avoid confusion, I personally love the arbitrary weird stuff.)

Youtube and tiktok also.

The world knows this is art but some bullshit artists, pun intended, in New York pretend like it is not. Then other bullshit artists in other cities follow what the bullshit artists in New York are doing because most aren't creative or free thinkers at all.

I love galleries personally but it is a class of non-creative, closed minded, bullshit artists at this point.

Also because those bullshit artists are aware the big money is in this bullshit world, so they give their best to get in and profit. You certainly don't get rich drawing for Bethesda, while in the art gallery business you maybe maybe maybe could.
