Good work arising from the melee is not at all certain. An opinion expressed in the film PressPausePlay is that we may be entering a new Dark Ages culturally. The thought is that one result of the democratized, uncurated morass of creative output we have today is that it would be unlikely for a Bach or Da Vinci to be noticed today, buried anonymously somewhere on the web.
It's never been more affordable or simpler to create a film, music, visual art; and everyone feels he or she's an artist. Sadly, not everyone has talent. Like it or not, art is an elitist endeavour. PressPausePlay is 1 hour 20 mins, but is a good view. https://vimeo.com/34608191 On Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 9:06 AM, Steven Desjardins <drd1...@gmail.com> wrote: > > The internet is this nearly universal gallery for images.
