- The "Work of Art" Exit Interview: Ryan Shultz – ARTINFO.com – Work of Art contestant Ryan Shultz says I hate him. In actuality, I liked him more than most, I just don't like his work. I also took issue with his calling Realism a medium (it's a genre). A smarter editor than the ones Bravo employs would have cut that.

I honestly can’t believe you are watching a tv show on Bravo and you think that defining realism as a genre and not a medium matters? It’s reality tv!

You mean the show’s too dumb to be worried about such distinctions, or that reality TV is a medium itself so “realism” might just be a medium? In any case I don’t agree with either. It’s best when people get basic definitions right I think.

But why should Bravo have cut that? It provided a moment worthy of ridicule / attention, which otherwise (if he had gotten it right) would not have registered at all. I’m not saying that the editors / producers were savvy enough to recognize the soundbite as “bloggable” material. But it’s also not their job to filter content which might say something “real” about the contestants of this reality television show.
Unless you think leaving it in reflects poorly on Bravo’s choice of contestants in the first place? And that that somehow diminishes the quality / relevance of the show?
