Re: There's the Underworld Twitter
It's called Twitter for a reason...
It's retarded to want to share with everyone what you had for breakfast. It's why children make poor converstionalists over long periods ( they don't how to filter whats interesting from what people don't want or need to hear) Indeed they tend to twitter which is sweet but... Twitter ( The online version) is dangerous because it fills up our time with the mundane and the ordinary which masquerade as the profound. Something like Ring Road on the other hand is a powerful work of art because it elevates the mundane and the ordinary and draws our attention to its hidden beauty through the mix of: spoken words, music, a cohesive creative idea (a journey around a town) and a time limit! I don't buy Twitter as a "sketch pad" either. A sketch pad needs to be intimate to be a real testing ground of ideas for the artist - full of stuff he or she wouldn't normally want people to see. Having written all of the above I don't deny any one the right to Twitter or question the enjoyment it provides. Just like I have a McDonalds around once a month and enjoy it greatly - I enjoy it even more by not fooling mysef it's Haute Cuisine. |
