Woodworking is BULLSHIT! · Episode 67 - Is ART for ARTIST, or is ART for the AUDIENCE? · 22 Jul 2026 podcast

And we're going to develop this further.

It's not that simple.

But this is the polar, like the two poles of the conversation that Thompson mentioned, artist as the explorer or the artist as the collaborator.

So, Thompson, in your own words, I would love to hear you describe your thinking on this.

All right, so Thompson, I find these two poles of artist as the explorer versus artist as the collaborator or aggregator for the public a very useful...

A very useful framework that I think the rest of the conversation is going to hang on.

And you said, you know, the audience in one case is a witness to what's happening.

They're not necessarily part of it, but they're witnessing it.

And that can be powerful.

I'm sure we've all been witness to something artistic where you're like, holy fucking shit.

Like, what is going on?

Like, that's incredible, even if you're not part of it.

But then there's audience as participant.

And we know that is extremely powerful, too, because the people feel part of something that is bigger than themselves.

I think of Jacob Collier.

Have you seen?

I sent Thompson his videos where he turns a huge.

audience in a theater into a huge choral instrument.

So he divides the audience into thirds and he gives them a note.

This third gets this note, this third gets this note, this third gets another note.
