Another thing Kubler talks about is this idea of "Aesthetic Fatigue" - which is an intuitive idea, but nice to have a name to it -- sort of like how societies, cultures, individuals etc, the mob, if you will, experiences this sense of tiredness or saturation, with certain forms and/or patterns of expression over time, and people just get tired of it
This "aesthetic fatigue" can lead to the obsolescence of those forms as they lose their appeal and meaning - which I think it interesting because then this is how we end up with this need, or desire, for new things, for newer pastures, there is no stopping, only the next thing and the next thing - which sounds tiring, but I think that's taking a simplistic view 3 replies
