V Pierre Bourdieu, The Field of Cultural Production: Essays on Art and Literature, ed. Randal Johnson (New York: Columbia University Press, 1993), 60-61. VI As in visual art work should be experienced. VII Gesamtkunstwerk (translated as synthesis of the arts, comprehensive artwork, allembracing art form, or total artwork) is a work of art that makes use of all or many art forms or strives to do so. NEOCAMP IS AMATEUR NeoCamp is concerned with amateurism and individual experience in the media saturated age of advanced mechanical reproduction. NeoCamp revels in it's own amateurity. NeoCamp sees the professionalisation of the arts as leading to the packaging of art as a means and not an end, managing to empty the artistic gesture itself of all inherent value. NeoCamp believes when art becomes work, it stops being playful, and play is an essential ingredient of artistic enterprise. NeoCamp believes the crime of specialization is that it inhibits and prevents people from acting, because if only some can be masters, the the result must become audience. NeoCamp believes that since the reproduction of sound, domestic music making has been on the decline, until, more recent, the de-idealisation of professionalized musical celebrity. NeoCamp believes professionalism thrives on expanding passive audiences which can inhibit personal creative expression by threatening the would-be amateurism's confidence and enthusiasm. NeoCamp believes that until recently, the domination of a music industry which fed the market it had created for itself with carefully packaged stars, could easily terrorist the casual musician into a mood of inadequacy. However playing music, and hearing it, are two different experiences. NeoCamp is amateurism above spectatorship. Amateurism=Action NeoCamp sees YouTube as a call to arms. NeoCamp is Copyleft. NeoCamp is DIY.
