Looks interesting, but how many of those projects succeed?

I respect artists of all kinds. And whatever they need to do to gain respect and attract the masses, then I appreciate what they do to get there. As long as it isn't illegal or unethical.

@hhusted - what about civil disobedience? Or free speech protests - like plenty of 20th century Russian writers? I'd argue sometimes artists have to do what is illegal in order to be ethical!

I'm just being nit-picky here -trying to open up a debate - not trying to contradict you or anything!

@ajadeidealist Well artists are not interchangeable with activists! Artists make art, and social activists do all of what you've described, and even though there's overlap, I actually prefer art that doesn't have any particular political agenda.

I like the kickstarter site a lot, now that I've looked around. Some of the projects are really amazing and definitely worthy of being sponsored.

@Uptowngirl: I took a look at the site you posted. Wow, what websites people think of to put online. Interesting to say the least. Maybe I'll start one.

@uraniumfish - I'd normally agree with you, although I think restrictive political environments can lead to some very interesting artistic movements - case in point 20th century USSR: Bulgakov, Solhetsyn (sp?), etc. In some environments art becomes a tool for social activism.

@ajadeidealist Yeh, and usually results in some seriously lousy art.
