Tipping the Tightrope

To Whom It May Concern,

I don't mind being androgynous.

Sometimes, its when I feel the most beautiful.

It was brisk today so I thought I’d bring out the heavy coat.  I absolutely love my multicolor print jacket.  It was only $30!  My shirt is a result of a bleach tye dye experiment in my backyard which turned out pretty cool.  I thought it would go well with my canary yellow creepers I had for a year and wore only once. I found them under the bed and just had to wear them the same day.  Oh and let’s not forget the circle sunglasses and head wrap, they make me feel like a super hero. Today’s outfit was a collage that came out fly.

PressPausePlay Directed by David Dworsky, Victor Köhler.

The digital revolution of the last decade has unraveled an avenue overflowing with creativity and talent in an extraordinary way. But! The question is does making things like art, and music so easy to create depreciate the craft? Now that technology is at the tip of literally everyone’s fingertips does this mean the more the merrier or is technology drowning out the true talent? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary about the art of digital music.  PressPausePlay contains some of the most influential artists of this era. 

When I watched this documentary over the Thanksgiving weekend I was pretty much swept away.  I personally believe that there are pros and cons to this ever advancing technology effecting art.  One, I do believe that it is very important that these tools of creativity are so easily accessible to the masses.  It allows all of us to express and create art, to share with the world by the push of a button.  On the contrast it devalues the development of art, it just disrespects the true artists in a sense that anyone and everyone calls themselves artist.  Technology makes the pool deeper and easier to drown in.

I highly recommend this documentary!! Watch now on Nextflix.com
