“Here is my word vomit from my notes app:
For me I feel as if as our influences become more worldly its almost as if our self which is influenced by our place of upbringing or per say where we visited/ did/ who we grew up with all intertwined into our own unique identity. But as these influences move online and many of us begin to pick it up its almost as if the influences become depersonalized or cause many to feel estranged due to the new “environment” many are growing up in being this digital world.
- I guess for me the way I have been trying to create reason within this desensitization to ideas or influence overload is looking further into the beauty of this worldly connection as it showcases the phenomenon of human connection through our connection to self and identity in our most irreducible form as a body or soul - being that where we are from is based on chance. Although these over connectedness has created much controversy It is also beautiful to understand how many similarities within shared experiences and thinking there are globally when we reduce our thinking back to its most reduced form.
- I often find myself trying to put my phone down and avoid things such as instagram and pinterest - since many of my favorite influences are things such as the moon and sun which obviously are a global experience.
- I realize the most important thing is to identify each form of creation as a mode of expression for the human experience, and identifying the beauty of our interconnections to each other throughout time. It do be tricky tho .
- i guess at the end of the day although you can travel the world and see the same things time and time over, one thing you can control is your personal connection to the creation of what you are observing, for instance many realism paintings of environments deeply resemble eachother- yet the experience of those executing their perspective will almost never been identical.
- It’s like how history predicted when everyone’s famous no one is - now that we are exposed to all we could image beyond our own lifetimes, rather than solely wander in order to take it all in we must begin to look within ourselves more than ever to find a place of attachment for the ideas we receive.”
