How do you measure art?
How do we measure art, and decide what is the best?
Contrary to popular belief, the best art isn’t decided by who gets the most clicks, listens, or attention. The best art doesn’t, necessarily, make a lot of money. Vincent Van Gogh’s lifetime earnings from his works come to mind.
Rather, the best measurement for art is if it inspires the artist to create more art; if it inspires others artists to create; if it has a meaningful conversation with past works; if the audience leave their experience after the work with a new sense of being…
If the art makes money, then a second success was achieved; but don’t let that measurement overshadow the initial measurements of success.

Here’s what I’m digging today:
The Soil and the Sun’s “I Know It (I Feel It, Too)”
