-Gaga (Stylist Interview): I would say I quite like the transference of strength I feel by submitting to a man – being under him. So wearing make-up, smelling delicious and having suckable, kissable, edible things between your limbs is something I find strengthening because I know that when I pick the right guy, I can let him have it.

[Verse 1]

INFO:

-Contains violins

-Gaga (V Magazine): The difference between what people were feeling about Pop Art and where I want to take ARTPOP. To say something is Pop Art for some artists was as simple as putting something in a museum or a galleryâ€â€it became art if it’s there. But that’s not what my feeling is about art. I don’t believe that trick works anymore. I think the real challenge is, How do I take a place that is not an artistic space and transform that space and make it into an artistic space? My fans are no longer obsessed with the icon, they’re obsessed with themselves.

-DJWS produced [

SOURCE]

-Rumored to be about her long running feud with an infamous celebrity blogger who has a physical/personal resemblance of a pig

Lady Gaga: That was the time in my life when I was the new artist. I wasn’t a fully formed artist, I was 19, I was young. I was willing to do anything for art. It got me into so much trouble. And because of that I was really troubled. I was really sick all the time in my head, in my heart. I felt trapped, but I was free. And then it was like a slow death. A slow death of my innocence and my youth. And I had to climb through a lot of swine, and that’s where that song came from.

◣COMPONENTS⊿

trackSTAR: DJ Engineering System that lets you make your own music by "just painting it"

◣artistic DIAGNOSIS⊿

  Reveal hidden contents

 ---Gaga:

"You inspired me to create something that communicated with images, because YOU do, YOU communicate with me and each other with .gifs and pictures, and artwork, graphics ALL DAY 24/7/ YOU'RE an ARTPOP generation. I'm hoping you will all continue to grow together and stay connected through your creativity" 

 

---“A musical and visual engineering system that combines music, art, fashion and technology.â€

  Reveal hidden contents

~A multimedia application that amalgamates all spheres of Gaga's work. Work is not compartmentalised into individual spheres but boundaries are blurred.

 

---It considers "Gaga's existence as a cultural interface"

  Reveal hidden contents

~Ignores the fact that Gaga is a musician, person and focuses on the idea that she bridges gaps between social groups, artistic groups, musical groups, technological groups. An interesting idea is the use of "interface" which was also used as to describe the shutdown of Gaga's Twitter account

 

---"Altering the human experience with social media, we bring ARTculture into POP in a reverse Warholian expedition."

  Reveal hidden contents

~What essentially was the original Warholian expedition? The journey as such of his artistry was the pioneering of the mass dessemination/cloning of conventional art into the general community and bridging the proverbial gap between pop and art.

Warhol's idea was to bring the artform to everyone and make it relevant to the general public. Very simply then, the reverse Warholian expedition would be to place the general public within the single form of art. Whereas Pop Art was mass dissemination, ARTPOP will be widespread amalgamation.

If we take into account the importance the Haus and Gaga have placed on the ARTPOP app, it could very much be a tool by which the public are directly influential into the art (videos, fashion, music) in which Gaga releases and she becomes an living and breathing artistic piece that reflects the general public. 

 

At this current moment, that is all I can conjecture as to how the public can influence Gaga's art, but I'm sure she as the artist has more instore as to the methods by which we influence her artistry. In this way, the ARTPOP experience is a symbiotic cycle between Gaga and the public. 

 

A contradiction of this concept is the idea of how Gaga can be the artist if the public are the one's being the artist? Well there is a duality to the term artist here - both can be: The idea is that she as the artist is in control of HOW the public INFLUENCE her and she is the artist because she is the ICON. In this sense, she is the artist because she is the avatar and she FILTERS what influence she takes in.The public are the artist because they CHOOSE and CREATE ideas for her and these are placed on a blank canvas.

 

---Allows users to "experience the 'adrenaline of fame.'â€

  Reveal hidden contents

~Hints at the potential for individuals to be highlighted and chosen to significantly influence Gaga's art and/or be highlighted on the application in a moment of fame - probably for a contribution to the purpose of the application.

---"An age where art drives pop, and the artist is once again in control of the 'icon'"

  Reveal hidden contents

~Reinforces Gaga's message (since the superstar incipience of her artistic ideology in 2008) that she is an artist, not a celebrity - that she is not manufactured and that the public image she creates is not a result of the label, marketers, but as an artistic choice.'

Probably not. I'll bet the 6 new songs she performs are from the list of already known tracks.
