Is This the End of Art?

Are you not entertained? Of course you are. We can barely move for entertainment. Songs, clips, memes, takes, games, reboots, thinkpieces, livestreams, “content”. Everything clamouring for attention, nothing sticking around long enough to matter. An endless supply of novelty that somehow never amounts to change. David Marx’s Blank Space is about that strange paradox of contemporary culture: total saturation and stagnation all at once.
