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'm not too familiar with Barthes' concept, but I'd say the artwork is mostly defined by the social space in between author and viewer, ie the context defines both the author's intentions and the viewer's interpretation.

What's left then? How do you create without intent?

So this is the space I live in - I think the intent matters, especially for the kinds of art I'm into; but then if the social context changes, then maybe we'd need to metaphorically kill the intent of the creator.
