Sordid Warhol of the East or Sage of the New Age of Mega-Commodification?
Key Murakami idea to contemplate here: "You cannot create an art piece unless you know how to make and sell it." Novel way of thinking of 'creativity'. Not only making it, but marketing it. Seeing and spawning 'original' paths to get it in consumer's hands, on their minds, on their credit cards...
Is there a relationship between the "superflat" non-hierarchical art world that Murakami espouses, and the "world is flat" global capitalism of Thomas Friedman?
