It’s been just shy of a year since I’ve posted on here… pretty slack with regards to the writing. Originally, I was running a blog (when blogs were a thing) where I’d post new artwork and random vents about art, life and the general unsteady state of the world we’ve all been navigating. So, having one place to post made it straightforward and easy to reach a slow growing audience. But then along came all the social media platforms, and being the interminably desperate attention seeker (an artist, musician, writer, actor, film-maker’s prime qualification) I merrily dived into most of those platforms that seemed to suit my self-obsessional purpose of standing up and shouting “Look at meeeee…”
In the last few years this material, freely published by all and sundry has been redefined as generic ‘content’ and the makers and performers renamed ‘content creators’. Content about product is now product in itself – and one of the most madly, apparently lucrative is that tertiary product that displays the watching of the secondary product reporting on the primary product… commonly known as ‘reaction videos’. They’re like a critical analysis. Without a critic, or analysis come to that. But that’s the world we now live in. Perhaps there’s a new avenue to explore of reaction videos where a viewer reacts to other reaction videos. Lord knows it probably already exists; I don’t care enough to google it…
Anyway, I digress. Perhaps I’m suffering from the same abused attention span disorder that seems to be affecting most of the rest of the world. Perpetual distraction is seemingly the order/disease of the modern world. So, I give my apologies for adding to the chaos. And I apologise for not keeping up with the wordage here. I have launched a new substack which is planned to take the place of the writing here since most people would rather be talked to, rather than to have to read whatever I’m rattling on about.
But in the sense of good housekeeping, and this being my main website, I’ll do my best to back up the words from substack video chats on this page too.
