Is artistic ventures limited in the amount of idea's that can be applied to all mediums? I am not talking about talent but artistic idea's.
Lets view some common mediums:
Music:
Contrary to popular belief Music isn't art it is math. There are limited variations to music. It is a simple mathematical reality. A 1-4-5 chord progression is a blue's progression whether it is used in country, blues or pop music. A new naked teen singing over the same shit is irrelevant.
There hasn't been an original idea in music since the 18th century.
Painting:
Isn't impressionist or modern art really just a result of the renaissance period doing every realistic thing that could be done?
People paint a red dot on a white canvess and call it art because quite frankly no other idiot has done it yet?
Photography:
Taking pictures of reality and telling people it isn't real is kind of odd. I am not sure this is even art.
Books:
A side from the fact that people don't read anymore and selling 10k books makes it a best sellar I am not sure how much of a medium fictional reading is anymore. Certainly you can count on one hand the amount of popular fictional writers. They keep writing about the same story.
Films:
Since every summer film is a re-make of some TV show, Comic Book, or has a roman numeral next to it has the film industry run out of idea's? Over half of the movies produced in the last 3 years are not original idea's. Some of the ones that are were just bad idea's.
Television:
Every fucking network has a hostpitol or detective show. Name a time on television when a network didn't have one on.
From Doctor Kildare, Emergency, St Elseware to ER or Perry Mason, Adam 12, Hill Street Blues to Law and Order/CSI.
Give me a fucking break. After 50 years is this the best you can do?
Gaming:
There was a time when 3 to 5 good titles would come out a year. I am lucky if I get one now. The single person gaming industry is crap and they are pretty much all of the same kind. There are really only 4 types of games, FPS, Sports RPS or Real Time.
After 20 years that is it?
It would appear to me that quite honestly artistic idea's are either very rare or they are only so many idea's out there per meduim.
When a meduim is new the idea's are abundant however the older the meduim gets the more everything is the same. Pretty much with out a uniqueness everything just gets catagorized based on what works.
Maybe the right side of our brains is not what we thought it was.
