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
