I'm happy because there is a misunderstanding of my words here.
I am not saying that the ethos of the artist should be "taste is random".
In fact the act of being an artist is to embrace biases.
I agree with the Kant interpretation of aesthetics as a "teleologic" thing : there is no objective "beauty" yet we perpetually fail to embrace this and instead, when we find something "beautiful" we consider this judgement as if it was universal, absolute and objective (when it is not).
On the other hand, to complete this, I agree with Wittgenstein when he says that "you cannot SAY anything about aesthetics/ethics".
These two ideas aren't forming any paradox.
> Create for the people right now.
I would prefer :
Set your own dogma or not, but do what you feel you want to do, be it creating for others, for yourself (you abominable narcissus), for your cat, for the banana you just eaten, or for whatever supreme being you chose to believe in.
Choose your audience, let an audience choose you, or choose to be alone, whatever fits for you.
