Remember the good 'ol days when MySpace was so incredibly cool and Facebook was only for people with an e-mail address that ended with "edu"? Or how about when you actually saw fliers for all of the events that were going on around town instead of just getting an electronic copy of said flier in your e-mail box. Visual art, in the traditional sence, used to be done with pencil or paint on things like paper and canvas instead of the nontangible world of the computer file. Now, everything is so non-sensory in a way that scares me. What will the art world be like tomorrow? How about the social media that spreads the word about it? This blog, in itself, is an electronic social media outlet. Artists used to be people that you could pick out in a crowd because of the paint and other materials matted in their hair and on their clothes. But now, someone in a clean suit who smells nothing like the persperation that is traditionally correlated with hard work, is considered an artist just the same, if not more so than ever before. Am I clinging too hard to the past? Should I give up my ideas of what "Artist," as an idea, feels like? Where are the people who get personal with their media? And what does their art look like these days?
