Amidst all the ai mass-plagiarism trend mess, the constant erasure of artists from their works, the devaluing of people who create, and subsequent fog of anti-motivation/depression/disgust/blunt nihilism concerning creating anything,
I find myself thinking about the phrase, "Art for No One" again and again.
mostly I just want to plug this video by Jacob Geller. It's really good. (i've been watching a lot of his videos lately).
but it (the phrase "art for no one") also sticks into my brainmeats at a wonky angle and won't fade away.
There is no such thing as Art for No One.
Art is made. It doesn't just happen. Art can never be for no one, because art is first and foremost for its creator.
And that thought comforts me.
#tldr: dew urtz 4 yeselff#y'know that old bit of advice#just wordier and more adhd brainfog-induced ramblingly#'you should make art for yourself' yeah no shit#it's not easy though#but just the simple act of doing any of it. of making anything. will be for you.#which kinda takes the pressure off everything and helps.#honestly 'just make art for youuuu' is kinda antithetical to art in and of itself#art is expression and is made to invoke reaction#so yeah of cOURSE art needs to be experienced by someone#but at the very least without even trying there is one person who will inevitably experience your art#no matter what
