I agree completely that we're swimming in art like never before. The technological revolutions have enabled more people than ever before to produce and to publish their art, so art of one kind or another is virtually everywhere in developed societies. That's obvious and undeniable.

But that huge increase in quantity is not necessarily a good thing. When the supply increases beyond the demand, the value of the products decreases. There can be too much of a good thing as we take it all for granted and eventually expect the products to be supplied for free.

Compare this with the change in women's clothing over the last few centuries. Arguably, when women used to cover up more, it was sexier and more erotic for men. Now, with feminism and the proliferation of pornography, the erotic dimension of sexuality seems lost. Nudity and sex are everywhere, just like art, and we take it for granted and lose respect for it all. We lose the sense of mystery and mystique when we're faced with such an oversupply.

An increase in quantity isn't at all the same as an increase in quality or in value. Maybe it is just an education problem, but there are structural effects of technological and social advances which usually have downsides.
