There are distinct advantages of the digital medium over the physical one when it comes to art-making but there’s one feeling I can quite get from digital, no matter how much I try. With physical materials, I feel like I’m making a dent in the universe – the physical artefact a manipulation of the environment around me. With digital, it often feels like I’m just adding to the pile of space junk.
If we can more easily see the paths we shouldn’t follow, does that make finding the correct one easier?
No matter which way you dice the onion, there’s no escaping the need for money to live. So how might art factor into that?
If more choice for a consumer is better, then why do chef’s banquets and ‘just feed me’ options exist in restaurants?
Most of us say we need more time but what if the opposite was true? What if less time helped us move forward?
Can the selfish act of making art become an act of generosity? What happens to others who come across the work we make for ourselves?
