Neither Hilde nor Magnus are ready to concede that we are truly in the midst of the Art Apocalypse.

Your Social Credit Score
In this episode of Arts Smack,host Hilde Lynn Helphenstein while stomping on the treadmill, dives Genz’s Victorian era of public performance via surveillance and wonders what their art will look like when everyone is afraid to express an uncouth impulse in public or their art. She then moves onto discussing our social credit score which doesn’t officially exist in the US but exists in Chia. She hypothesizes it will be there soon too. What do you think yours is? Sorry for the first 300 listeners. The wrong file was uploaded and the audio was horrible. The raw file is actually better and I have now put it up. This is one woman show. Be patient with me. Also I can't sit still so you aren't going to get studio quality probably ever. I like doing things and talking to you.Also, aren't you enjoying the inner monologue of my head?

Your Social Credit Score
Do you know what your social credit score is? Struggling with the cautious and image-conscious nature of Gen Z, Hilde is puzzled by the next generation of artists who have a tendency to shy away from public missteps that could harm their social standing. What kind of art work comes out of trying to be socially perfect? Unless, of course, we are headed into a new Victorian era where things get raunchy when the corset comes off behind clothes doors. Wondering out loud to herself, Hilde critiques the lack of rebellious spirit in contemporary art, highlighting the shift towards marketability and social acceptance over genuine, bold expression. Did "being bad" peak in the 90's? We hope not.
