Do you subscribe to the death of the author?

Do you think the dominant concept in an artwork is not determined by the author's intention or by the viewer's interpretation?

(please don't answer "both", I'm asking where you're primarily leaning to)

Power consolidation=evil.

I think Barthes went to far by declaring death but where he makes a point in how most of what we create is just a remix of whats already there.

Intent on the other side is important but in fine arts what matters most is the art itself, the work needs to prove itself on it's own.

Art is first everything else is secondary.

if it's art there is always an intent, nothing special 

what do you mean by more push now?
like conceptual art is cooking since the 70s,
the abundance of visual beauty is nothing new either.

aesthetics get accepted after they have been viewed as ugly they become beautiful.

What if the whole art is the intent? I'm seeing more and more push towards conceptual and performative art, especially with the abundance of visual beauty more recently. Does it matter what the creator tried to explore explicitly, and what if the social context around the creator changes?
