Charles Saatchi - Can he always be a new? Can he remain relevant to new time?

Charles Saatchi has launched many of new endeavours. Beside his gallery what showing now a show of a sculpture - The Shape of Things to Come, he enjoys relatively popular SaatchiOnline and a few TV shows. Did many things changed since he was promoting Damien Hirst and Tracy Emin? Yes, a lot of things changed. New Saatchi is associated with a kind of quick-sensation and a bit creepy art which would be hard to sell otherwise you are Saatchi or Sotheby's Contemporary, whose year-by-year built reputation in the artworld allow to deal with many things in question. Also his choices became more than predictable and unlikely surprising. It's just like repeating one scheme once again with a bit different variables. Is it boring? Maybe, but how hard it is to do something by decades and still be active.

But i have to admit, according to a previously mentioned Google global interest to art has dropped almost twice since year 2004, interest to German "kunst" almost 3 times lower now, but in reverse there is incredible growth of interest to Google and other tech companies as well. Searches for Google rose above the skies. Same with Lady Gaga. Art has always been restricted to more limited and privileged public. But lack of the new and intriguing for public resulting in a decline of interest. (is Lady GaGa really new(couldn't agree) or she got just better publicist?) World crisis as well couldnt help art to rize. Everyone counting the budjet now.

What is Saatchi Online? Mass curated, by artists themselves, and what we got, what a mass of an artists means? What choices would you expect from median group of people interested in own craft if not selecting something same median to safely enjoy. This why i do not expect anything outstanding or crazy to reach to the top via showdown or by any way like this.

Will the interest to art rise again? Should it employ all new technologies beyond average to remain on top? Or can old good painting be made once again bit better and more time relevant, something what artists like Gerhard Richter has done not long ago.

Ultra modern war or the time for an Überman

Man struggle to survive; Anyone might perish unless he of she has great resistance to death. The modernity made different the tools and methods of wars. Postmodern war is often cyber war, it's technologies is based on purely intellectual things, programming, conceptions. Sudden results could not be just the corpses, yet the humans - brain washed or their egos altered, they could even become unified by the same ideology. The logic, you can spread the one which is supreme really fast. This what Google has done to conquer their market.

The World Aftermodern might be a quite social and unified, humanity beyond national borders, entire society connected in the fashion of Internet, whose global reach makes it into a new weapon of a massive scale. Collective intelligence, a new life form, it could produce much more terrifying chaos either create amazingly new order almost for everyone in the matter of moments.

Perhaps, super intelligent society will face no physical war, unless purely technological. Yet, once the world reaches production level highly above possible needs, much of the war causing problems dissapear as an essentially emptied threads. Would it be a Neo-Communist or Post-Capitalist utopia, or we will face some king of absurd self-destruction reasoned by the absence for a further reason to exist, since everything was done?

We think physical wars unnesessary in the community with technology advanced enough to modify remotely behaviours, intentions and even actions of one living. Indeed it is a question for a new form of governance. Super power of new governance instead of a conflict; the rest - just left for the exchange of ideas and commodities.

The possibility of a quick death is a terrifying spot in someone's mind...unless we die we do not have a reason to exist, we might have only the emptiness of a pure eternity.

Beauty? What is that, how new it is. Do you still reacting to it? Than how would you describe a best Aftermodern weapon, just one to act beyond the borders.
