Another 4am brain awakening. Recently I've just been feeling a funny kind of blank, and I think it's because I'm trying to absorb a lot of information and ideas from the talks I've been watching of Douglas Rushkoff and Richard Feynman. Lots of food for thought about the universe, how things are, the joy of stuff and finding things out, the system of now, etc.
Anyway, at the moment I'm thinking about rejecting context and just doing what I feel, creatively. Yes, I know this may result in some naively-thought out work, but it's the only way I can make work that I personally value, and that means something to me. Of course there will be failures. But it's the only way I can truly do my thing – without regard for trend, historical benchmark or contemporary context. Let that come later, if it has to. It circumvents the ego too, since it's not produced to please anyone else. I'm not subscribing to the "if anyone else likes it, it's a bonus" club, more like it has to fulfill my strict criteria to work, and come from somewhere within me.
