I think shocking art comes from experience. I just dont find much shocking anymore. Art should be like getting into the mind of an artist. and how an experience has made them feel. these days every one id doing similar work, talking about the same story of the poor people ect.

we are bombarded with shocking news on the TV that we have become immune. I can remember when they first showed the bodies of people who died in the blasts in mumbai. Now things like this appear so often that it like looking at a movie. By : ramg

So what if we are bombarded by shocking news on tv - stop crying over it. Many of us dont have to go through that and only watch it on tv. We dont become immune to all this but dont really care since it dosnt affect us. Thats the truth. May be it is the guilt that comes from all this that creates an unconscious desire within us to be shocked by art By : hinduja
