"The purpose of art is to elicit emotion, is it not?

"But while emotion is a humanly interactive experience, the vehicle of art is strictly one-way. It is the cruelest humbuggery to force unattributable sadness, anger, or love upon an observer. We inevitably are left empty, unable to return emotional feedback to an artist unaware of our specific existence."

-- Danny, in the comic strip Nukees by Darren Bleuel, 2008-12-29. (The quoted passage sets up a punch line in the net panel ...)

For non-performance arts, I suppose I can see how that is. Although really, art transforms the creator as they make it, so the "one-way" may be "art to human"...?

This is one of the things I like about filking and fanfic -- being able to provide direct feedback.
