ROLE OF THE ARTIST [rôle de l’artiste]

If someone witness a crime or an accident they have to assist the person in danger.
If the artist sees some alarming dysfunction the artist must communicate what he knows immediately to the public.
The public is the rest of society.
The artist is an expert in visual communication.
As most dysfunctions, abuse, propaganda etc. communicate with the tools of the artist (i.e. visual communication), the artist as an expert must deliver what he is the witness of.
Immediately.
Before it is too late.
The artist has the capacity and the duty to alarm the other.
If he does not, he fails to be contributing of the caring of each other in society.
The artist is responsible for what he knows and observes.
Indifference and not-caring should be felt as a unlawful error.
The role of the artist is to make use of his visual expertise to the service of the civic society which is now overusing visual communication.
