Is collage in art (as opposed to making something with traditional materials) just plain lazy? Like digital photography, too many people are doing it and killing it. Remix can sometimes seem like lazy collage.

[11/14/2024: The more ideas I get about how to use AI in the flow of the creative process, the more I’m disappointed by the results.

Continued warm, 65 degrees

Film: Pirate Radio. I really hated this film because it failed so miserably at a potentially interesting topic.

Musicians no longer play 'instruments'. They program hardware and software and the hands are no longer fully involved.

Dynaxiom: Always strive to be well-prepared for fate. 

A line I like from Caroline Myss: Fate is a “We”, Destiny is an “I” (Individualism versus the tribe).
