![]() If you keep on immersing yourself, the more all-encompassing the viewpoint becomes: "if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail." If you engage in any kind of activity, you begin to embrace the viewpoints and facts related to the activity. "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster." There is always power to be uncovered by renunciation of boundaries, but pursuing an utter lack of restraining form leaves one 'powerfully empty', and perhaps incapable of recovering one's artistic nature. In particular, I think 'an abyss' is a sort of monster, the monster of complete cynicism and true nihilism - the completely empty man that early 'beatnik' post-modernism seems to favor. If others' use of power lacks art, we should not simply confront them with more power, if that involves less art. We should choose scale, elegance and consistency. In this context, I think the quote about monsters indicates there are aesthetic choices that we should restrain ourselves from making even though they would be effective. He accuses Wagner's music of being an assault on the audience, brandishing its scale in a way that shocks the senses and bruises the organs, and of having too little consistency and comprehensibility - winding an endless melody, rather than a theme.

Power may be the medium of morality, and its goal, but tasteless use of power is like tasteless use of any other medium. ![]() In The Gay Science he says something to the order of 'One must make of one's Self a work of art, carving away something here, growing something there, repurposing some mass of unavoidable ugliness elsewhere to present a more pleasant view from the distance.' (I do not have a copy here, and I cannot find it online, if someone can give me the words.)Ī monster is one whose 'self' lacks 'art'. In this instance, my knowledge and research could be fundamental in creating and editing effective material.Īs a whole, I’m a valuable asset to any organization seeking experience and knowledge of the media industry as well as any group seeking ambitious storytelling and content creation.This is one of the aspects of Nietzsche that is easily overlooked by people who want to see him as simply nihilistic and destructive.įor Nietzsche, the construction of the self is not a religious act, an obligation, or an act of submission to nature, as variously seen by 'moralities' - it is an art form. ![]() My interaction and networking with the Austin film community as well as my interests and studies as a Writing & Rhetoric major have contributed to a fundamental and growing understanding of trends and changes within the art and media industries. Over the years, I’ve familiarized myself and worked with film organizations and workshops, such as the Austin Film Society, Austin Film Festival, and Austin Film Meet, to grow my understanding of the industry and hone my craft as a writer. I seek to work in visual and written media, whether it be in film, video games, or publishing, using a variety of mediums to express the full spectrum of art. This list will be looking into that psyche, as it runs down 10 of Johan's most disturbing quotes.Īs a writer, auteur, and innovator, I seek to expand human potential through the creative medium, intellectually and emotionally challenging the mass audience. And what better way to explore that existential horror than with the series' leading villain, the young boy of Tenma's ever-living regret: Johan Liebert? A genetic product and nurtured heir of the fascist regime, Johan leads through the series a campaign of destruction in an effort to leave him the last man standing on Earth.
