It is a wonder trying to figure out what needs to be said. So many artists with well defined methods and no matter how well they say something, you have to wonder, is what they are saying important to them?

It is important to be prolific, just like it is important to use big words, but the real importance should always be the importance of what is being said.

When someone asks you a question, in everyday life we do not need to question the persons interest in the answer. People who ask questions in everyday life, ask questions because they are interested. Imagine a person asking you a question and you can hear in their voice they are not actually interested in your answer. This is like art made for the sake of art. Sometimes it seems effective, but without the interest, without the artist really thinking what they are saying is important, the art lacks authenticity, regardless of how well the statement is crafted.

A well crafted work of art can seem like a customer service employee asking you, the customer, how your day is. However genuine the question may seem, it will always have a wavering sense of authenticity, because as a customer you understand the employee is simply playing a role, and if they were not at work, not in uniform, they most likely would not be talking to you, and most likely do not care about how your day is.

Like well crafted art a seasoned customer service employee learns not to just fake the authenticity but actually learns to enjoy the questions they ask their customers. This of course makes everyone confused at the end of the day. In both the case of art and customer service, we come to create the synthetic feeling of sincerity and authenticity. In the case of art we need to cease being employees and customers, quit asking questions because we are forced to, paid to, or just because we have the method perfected.

Artists ask questions of their audience. Every work of art is a statement, a question, an argument, and a building of community. Prolific artists need to make sure that the questions and statements they make are of authentic interest to them, not just well crafted customer service questions. People can see through these hollow works of art.
