| Let us know when you convince a few hundred people it's interesting enough to visit! |

| The few hundred people who visited during the 17-month rest are just as silly as someone who'd be convinced to see a random forum poster's millennium rest, that's the kicker. |

| ▲ | itishappy a day ago | parent [-] | | Maybe if they were visiting just for the music, but perhaps the organ itself is of some interest? | | |
| ▲ | jacobgkau a day ago | parent [-] | | Sure, if you want to make it about the engineering accomplishment rather than the music itself. Somewhat to your point, I guess I have more respect for Rainer Neugebauer and the team actually attempting to put this performance on than for John Cage simply writing it down vaguely. | | |
| ▲ | itishappy a day ago | parent [-] | | Totally agree. I think Cage's work is vaguely interesting in an abstract sorta way, but the actually interesting part of this piece is the organ itself. I think they're both art, but I personally value the latter more. |

| Are you kidding me? I have 8 billion listeners. And a new one born every second. |

| ▲ | itishappy a day ago | parent [-] | | How many of them do you think know your name? | | |
| ▲ | AlexandrB a day ago | parent | next [-] | | So art is all about the identity of the author? | | |
| ▲ | itishappy a day ago | parent [-] | | I'd say it's about connecting with the consumer. The connection doesn't need to extend to the author, but it should probably extend to the art itself. I'll rephrase my question: How many of those 8 billion people care about and/or are aware of Rene's art? |
