In the tribal zone

From the podium at the university speaking engagement, Crenshaw asserted the most interesting place to place oneself was in the thick of contemporary culture. Artists today use video, a contemporary medium in the contemporary toolbelt, to project onto buildings massive images of faces telling wrenching tales. The culture is desensitized to broadcast imagery on small screens, and it is disinterested and often fearful of interpersonal relation. The contemporary artist uses the culture as it is at that present moment before it changes again, as it always and continuously changes, to communicate with his audience in a grand way. Crenshaw wiped his eyeglasses with his tie and replaced them on his parrot beak nose. The nature of culture, to continuously change, endows it with interest. Subjects on the past have interest but have already been analyzed and categorized, where contemporary culture has not.
