The fun part of being an artist isn’t in having made something.
It’s a mistake non-arists often make.
The fun part is the exploration and the discovery. The willing of something new into existence. The learning and experiencing.
You make for yourself first, not an audience.
These techbros are not artists. That’s why they think you should just jump to the end product.
For me the fun part is the frisson I get from a moving piece of music. Playing music and just listening to it are completely different.
As a tech geek and an artist (writer), I wholeheartedly agree. This is purely for the benefit of investors, not the craft.
It’s part of a more anti-intellectual movement in the United States, where the arts and humanities are frequently dismissed as “useless” because these people fail to understand that introspection, the creation of culture and the understanding of ourselves is in itself just as fundamental to human happiness and a fulfilling existence as the economy they’re so hellbent on defending.
