Makoto Oshiro is a sound artist despite being a sound artist he combines other elements of technology into his performances such as electricity and light. A combination of technology, this showed me advancement in performance in a new exciting and experimental way.
With the development of technology phones are getting smarter every single day: but are we?
People every day stay glued to their phones. Despite most people being aware of how unaware they are of their surroundings when on them, we still stay laminated to the screen. It could be argued that blocking out the world around you will stunt your creative flare. The brain is less inspired and triggered and we are becoming detached from our centrality to the floating rock we live on.
However, in juxtaposition to this, there are tones of software that may inspire us but just in different ways. Apps such as Spotify and Tim Tok’s algorithms show constant new things. From this, our brains are continuously triggered and taught. Can it be highlighted that this constant rush of life and technological culture is forcing our brains to come up with fresh ideas? We are being shown things we may never have been shown before which can conclude in wider creative thinking. However, developments such as the Metaverse and NFT are early signs of our creativity leaving this world physically and being created somewhere else. This is a dangerous process where our creative results are also ending up pumped into technology.
Despite technology not entirely stumping creative thinking, I do believe it’s vital that we as humans find a balance; we must be careful that everything we think say or do doesn’t end up entirely engulfed by technology.
