Get ready for another renaissance bitches.
Art + life have always been + always will be the same. All art is a reflection of life. At some point, it doesn’t matter if you’re the reflection of the thing or the thing being reflected. It all depends on your relationship with what you’re seeing. I actually believe that art doesn’t exist. It’s a name we invented to help us point to a very complex + abstract experience we are constantly having in our lives as we evolve, but might actually be holding us back now. We think art is separate from life because we’re used to thinking of art as a thing inside a frame that you hang on a wall. Now, the frame is your phone, the canvas is digital + the painting is the unfolding story of being an artist. Making a painting of a sandwich + eating a sandwich are the same. I think we’re entering a new renaissance where everyone’s an artist + everything is art. The internet is the new cave where although we don’t live inside of yet, we are constantly writing on the walls of, documenting the story of us. One day, the digital me that has been accumulating online will wake up + continue to live as me, never knowing there was a me before him.
