I think this is truly inspiring and the best talk of art I have met. Some notes from my listening: Develop your own internal standards for excellence - great because that means you have to be 100% present and do what you do with love and passion no matter what others think -- authenticity ( make the experience real to you and do it for a long time, build a sense of mastery) Intuition - say yes and do it, art is a creative act, it is a discipline, chance and choice, Transparency, be honest and transparent with your own methods, letting the materials show Love what you do, cultivate what is authentic to your work, trust yourself .... and I really admire and smiled at your example with your “genuine fake” - what comes out of your doing is always dependent on how you do it - your ways of relating and acting

So glad I stumbled across this video ! So much food for thought.

"Just because you can, doesn't mean you should." As an artist that's had a billion ideas I resonate with this so much. The desire to just make something because it feels like a good idea in the heat to f the moment is self-standard degrading act. You have to believe your best work is the cream of the crop among all your works!!

Tom is an aboslute sage. Amazing advice from an amazing artist & person.

Love this! His work is fun!

In love with Tom Sachs. Incredible person

wow i loved everything about this video. one of the best TED talks id seen in a while. so many powerful messages

Superb!

best talk!

"its all through working to foster your own Internal Standard of Excellence" 💧

How many views is "no views"? On 02/21/2020 this talk has 41K views which is a lot more than "no views". I don't think though that this video will ever "go viral" because it isn't for crowd followers. It is for those who by birth or living come to a place where are willing to express through their own creativity what they've always known are important in life. (Sigh) To bad I didn't write this yesterday that would have been an awesome date.

so there is a definite lefthanded-ness that is revealed in his family crest, from the inverted pentagram to the 666. It could be all just tongue in cheek or there might be more to it. Something i struggle with as an artist, is that it seems almost required that you open yourself up to the animating spirit of materialism (Mammon) to gain wealth or success. My personal belief is that, by doing so, you sacrifice a part of your soul. So in me the question is begged: Is there not another way? can we not find success or security without giving into destructive spiritual forces?

Its never tongue and cheek. Art is subjective and at its root its a luxury. The greatest attribute of art is its impact on the consumer. The powers that be use art for propaganda. These artists you see in very high places are playing their role. Perpetuating materialism. Commercials disguised as fine art. More programming. Keeping the culture focused on the shallow and vain. If your goal is notoriety from the world this is the path you take. Brandishing 666 on your work so those at the top can keep you funded and in their museums. Selling your soul for fame and fortune. The other way? Forget fame and devote yourself to the craft make art for arts sake and appreciate those who enjoy it.

@@codeninja100 Do you truly believe art is a luxury? I have the tendency to believe art is a necessity. a process of expressing aspects of the soul, (and the experience) that lies beyond formalized systems of language or pattern. And this expression needs outlet within humanity as a whole. perhaps not a need of each individual, but a higher need of the species. And that without this expression we would be unable to continue our evolutionary process. unable to live out our spiritual destiny if you will.

I feel dumbed

I take issue with his preoccupation with materials and his willingness to become a brand emissary (whether intentional or not). I wonder if he is advocating for artists to restrict their creativity and to focus on ideas that are not quite yet fully formed because his starting point was a belief that if a product had backing in the form of an established brand, it was “real”. There is a sad sense of concession in his work. It’s as though he believes that his own originality can’t have worth in the world as it currently stands, and so by supporting the existing structure, he will gain access to to the support unfairly distributed to corporations. It reminds me of the lackeys who give praise to bully bosses, because by doing so, one gains a sense of security from that bully, even though that security comes with the price of continued psychological abuse. From a certain angle, he is like an anti-artist, operating with the intent to destroy budding artists and make them servants of big brands. If this is true, and he does this intentionally, he is a pretty brilliant conceptual artist, and I’m curious about what his next root idea will be.

I think it's a matter of exploring the meaning behind his own desires for designer brands, as well as the deeper meanings of brand and what identity means. A key idea he says a lot is "making things I want that don't exist". And when you see the end product, you're sort of forced to ask, "Why would someone want this? And why did he want it like this?" I think the addition of the brand on most of his work is simply a wry joke, similar to why Warhol liked brands. There's an accessibility there (like Andy Warhol's stuff) which makes it easier to engage with conceptually (because it's familiar). In Sachs' vision there's a more futuristic, utilitarian, plywood industrial, militaristic approach that I think reflects the American identity quite well, in many ways that Warhol's work didn't. Also, to me, each "sculpture" is sort of a DIY performance in ingenuity. Now I'm rambling haha
