Can you make art without selling your soul to capitalism?  

@alisynthesis and I return to detonate the incendiary claim that ended Part 1...

Our conversation finds hope in the Fediverse and examines why artists need to break away from the attention economy.

Just a reminder to anyone who needs it.

FUCK CONTENT,
WE WANT ART.

FUCK YOUR CONTENT.

I WANT ART.

I don't know _how_ to unplug the money-printer-minded folks from creative media but these people are ruining _everything_.

Well, I mean, I guess I do. We... We really do _have_ to organize around the things we want in the world.

I want art back. I so ever-lovingly want art back. I'm sick to death of content.

(I didn't know this hashtag already existed! How exciting!)

The new #Blackkeys album "Ohio players" has just come out and is great, but i feel sad that I can already hear in my mind some posh British woman talking over "Beautiful People (stay high)" with mobile phone selling points...

"largest and fastest 5G network in the UK"
"Pay-monthly sims for as little as 12 pound a month"

God, I hate capitalism!

If I have anything closely resembling a New Year resolution for 2024, it would be to convince myself that I don't have to be "productive" in the capitalistic sense with my art. I don't have to churn something out everyday in order to stay relevant. I don't have to appease some ethereal algorithmic force. I don't have to finish work in one sitting, ADHD be damned.

I can tackle projects in pieces. I'm allowed to take more than a couple days to finish a commission. All the clients who keep reassuring me that there's no rush and that they're patient can't be wrong. Right?
