A page of a book in Korean. With some lines underlined.

"They did not. Artists kept their distance from commerce. Adorno’s maxim that art is “the estrangement from the world” was still valid. If Adorno is right, then pleasant art is a contradiction. Art must make things unfamiliar, disrupt, perplex, and even cause pain. Art dwells somewhere else. The home of art is in the unfamiliar. It is precisely this estrangement that creates the aura of an artwork. Pain is the fissure through which the absolute Other enters. It is the negativity of the absolute Other that allows art to tell a counter-story against the dominant order.
By contrast, what gives satisfaction merely perpetuates the same.

According to Adorno, a shudder is “the first aesthetic form.” A shudder marks the intrusion of the Other. A consciousness that does not know how to shudder is a reified consciousness. Such a consciousness lacks the ability to experience. Pain arises when “the essential otherness of Being reveals itself against what is familiar,” and experience “in its essence is this pain.” A life that rejects all pain is also a reified life. Only “that which is touched by the Other” makes life something alive. Without such a touch, we cannot escape the hell of the identical.

Page of a book in korean.

Translation:

If something caused pain, then that bond was genuine and incarnate. And only when a human being is capable of suffering is one truly present, and—whether consciously or unconsciously—capable of love. In this way, one’s eyes open to the structure of the world. When one has the capacity to suffer, a being goes beyond merely mechanical and spatial coexistence (Nebeneinander) and truly enacts authentic—meaning living—coexistence (Miteinander). Without suffering, we neither love nor live. Life is sacrificed for comfortable survival. Only relationships that are alive—true coexistence—can cause pain. In contrast, lifeless, functional coexistence does not cause pain, not even when it is destroyed. What distinguishes living coexistence from dead coexistence is pain.

Pain is a bond. A person who rejects all painful states has no capacity to form bonds. Today, we avoid deep relationships that can bring pain. Everything happens within comfort zones where pain is excluded. In In Praise of Love, Alain Badiou quotes the slogan of a dating site: “Falling in love without pain is not difficult at all!” In such a world, the Other as pain disappears. The Other is turned into a thing, into a sexual object.

Yoongi 😭

🔗 www.instagram.com/agustd/p/DO6...

#Suga #Yoongi

Yoongi (Suga of BTS) standing in a gray room with a high ceiling and no wallpaper. He's holding an electric guitar with a bright source of light in front of him that casts a big shadow of himself on the bare gray walls behind him.

The guitar has a black and eggshell-colored body and a yellow or light brown headstalk. Yoongi himself is wearing a black t-shirt, black pants, and black shoes. His hair is also black and styled backwards with, I believe, a hint of an undercut (Yoongi is fairly small in this photo so I can't quite say for sure). One hand is playing the strings, the other hand is on the fretboard. He's looking down at the fretboard.

Lots of cardboard boxes, buckets, tools, and bags litter the ground behind Yoongi.

Almost the same photo but this one is black and white with a lot more contrast in the lights and shadows. It's also very slightly blurry

Almost the same image again, black and white but even more blurry. Yoongi is now looking down as he's playing the guitar

A closeup of the shadow that Yoongi is casting on the wall. You can clearly see him holding the guitar. The gray wall is looking rough without any wallpaper. We can also see the cardboard boxes, buckets, etc. on the floor

"Jin’s beauty, superb vocals, and never-ending energy brought out the enthusiastic cheers. Many fans commented on how natural he seemed on the American stage.

A new record: both shows were completely sold out, the most sold-out show at the American Airlines Center ever."
