This seems to be an instance of an XY Problem: >The XY problem is a communication problem encountered in help desk and similar situations in which the person asking for help obscures the real issue, X, because instead of asking directly about issue X, they ask how to solve a secondary issue, Y, which they believe will allow them to resolve issue X on their own. However, resolving issue Y often does not resolve issue X, or is a poor way to resolve it, and the obscuring of the real issue and the introduction of the potentially strange secondary issue can lead to the person trying to help having unnecessary difficulties in communication and/or offering poor solutions. Do you want to: - Make art (express yourself, indulge in activities to create things that capture, or free, a part of yourself, etc.) - Understand the system: production, promotion, prizes, dynamics, trends, notoriety, the business of art, communication, graph of influences, taxonomies and ontologies, history, etc. - Have what you consider to be the life of people you consider "artists" (going to parties, being liked, being admired) - (all of the above) Which?
