JA WestenbergThe biggest mistake I have made as a creator is letting my ego, my ambition, and the shallowness of social media convince me that I had an “Audience” instead of a network.
Coreyartus Imagery@Daojoan Wow, this hits deep. I’ve always struggled to articulate why I dislike artists who try to post to every possible platform and just end up Art-spamming their work. Now I know why. Thank you, Joan!
As an artist, if I’m not clearly present and engaging (and on Mastodon that’s probably easier to determine than on a lot of other platforms) I might as well be generative AI.
Tomorrow’s art world will be entirely about relationships—that’s the only thing that will make it different than AI.
@Coreyartus i think we are entering an age where the humanity of what we do and how we do it will matter more than ever
Sibylle@Daojoan @Coreyartus we've gotten so used to the polished artificial stuff... Many people creave for the natural feel the human touch weaves into a "product".
Yet we do not value human handwork as a society. Or human work in general. I do not mean just the traditional crafts.
Thank you for the article. It's reassuring me that I'm in the right track, ignoring the laws of online and social media marketing strategies they want to sell.
