forked from spring 24 notes on creativity how do you value art?

  • aesthetic value — its never lost — it gets transferred from person to person potential energy kinetic energy art is a vessel of so much potential —
  • how do you determine “art” vs “content”?
  • curation is super important to me
  • content overload — advertising, tik tok, etc
  • curation going to museums, scrolling thru internet museums going thru a museum (notes on creativity)
  • anecdotes:
    • i get more inspired to create when im with other “creative” people
    • curious by the term “creator” vs “creative” vs “artist”
      • i remember debating w my friend in dc — do ppl in nyc term themselves as creative vs artist?
      • there’s a level of cultural production that we aim to uphold there’s a level of ()gatekeeping that comes to art i dont want to to restrict creativity but at the same time curation necessitates some sort of craft / cull / intention
  • we’re trying to remix each other’s artwork
  • originality vs creativity vs authenticity
    • originality and creativity are not necessarily tied to each other
    • “steal like an artist”
  • we are constantly remixing each other
    • i think thats why tik tok does so well - we hop onto trends and create without pressure of originality
    • to me its not satisfying — this is why it’s termed creator, not creative even reviews are a bit of art of in of itself
