Mission

What is the artist mission? I like what it said in the intro about artist acting as free radicals in society. Artist are the conscience of culture, the awakened dreamers of the unconscious mind, we speak out against apathy and stagnation. We create laughter when it's not funny and throw paint when the world reaks with injustice and intolerence. Artist speak the thoughts people don't know they have and would probably be terrified of. In many ancient culturs there is a trickster archetype that appears to stir things up when the world becomes to safe or people are taking themselves too seriously. This court jester makes people laugh as he pulls the rug out from under them, this is an artist mission.
