I apologize for making the comparison between music development and art once again, but parables are so easily drawn in that arrangement. You will better understand this topic by briefly visiting Lo-Fi Terrorist
After experiencing Lo-fi Terrorist, and the anti-care that goes into that sort of work, well it's hard work in it's self, ? .to make something that is supposed to be rather awful. It is not as easy as it seems. Despite that the LFT track "Everybody is walking away from me"/LFT completely leaps off the sound board, serving to instill real fear and the colors and peaks are jarring, well in fact much of the LFT material is quite bland and delightfully dull. Another skill in it's self, the restraint needed to do F all! .Not as easy as it seems. Listed below are parameters that could serve those interested in anti-art.



Bad Art is never Anti-Art. It's just art that you personally don't like. You may propose that anti-art is not art in these senses;



It can not under any imaginable circumstances be in any sense meaningful.



It must never contain purposeful juxtapositions that in any way relate to one another.



It must not ever contribute anything to any cultural foundation, living or dead.



It must strike the viewer with emotional and intellectual revulsion.



Also It must not strike the viewer with emotional and intellectual revulsion.



The viewer must immediately forget what they have just been looking at.



It must strive to be banal in the same way that macaroni and cheese might have nightmares of becoming.



It must not be as banal as a platonic idealized bowl of macaroni and cheese.



It must be more banal than the platonic idealized idea of banality.



Of course these parameters can never be met. But they may be what the anti-artist should be aiming towards.
Quoting Chrstphre Campbell



I would argue that non anti-artists or anti-anti-artists (artists) would benefit by carefully considering the nine commandments above, used similarily as working with off center positioning, in order to make their art stronger and appear more worked, so too making their art more suitable for the Super super modern era.



Actually the term "The Nine Commandments" (or another perspective "negative commandments") is rather interesting because as Chrstphre Campbell points out "these parameters can never be met", only degrees can be achieved from either end, the artist that strives for anti-art or the artist that uses elements of anti-art in their work. I would also add that made perfect in true lo-fi style, these hopeless commandments present anti-art as the true unacheivable and lucid rebel possessing one virtue, the use of failure not to failure, but to advantage.
