From Photos taken on the 8th of a month.
From Some January 1/8/2001 Impression: Chicago story documentary on Studs Terkel. Passion for life, passion for "common" people, and a zest for things interesting. Will subsequent generations produce a rival?) He called himself a "gold prospector" while sifting through all his recorded interviews. This is what I try to do with music ideas, lyric ideas, and this diary. 1/8/2010 People criticize people that are addicted to their iPhones. But there's nothing more profound than the addiction to the automobile, and the result is ultimately on the stresses it puts on resources and the environment. *** Re: The interactive installation "I Want You To Want Me" at MoMA: This is interesting vis-a-vis what I'm thinking about re the 'Window Art/Mirror Art' axis. The exhibit seems to be overly obsessed with gazing deeply into the mirror, rather than looking outwardly for transcendence. By only using what people type into websites we only see a 'stylized' version of behaviors. It is merely feedback, although it may be useful in seeing the undercurrent of our emotions, similar to seeing what the Big Bang looked like as opposed to seeing only through imagination. While this may seem transformative, it might actually diminish imagination. And once people are aware of themselves being tracked, may artificially load the system with inaccurate data as people dissimulate reality. *** Dynaxiom: Photographs are artifacts of experience. 1/8/2011 Arizona Dem congresswoman Giffords shot at Tucson rally. Six others killed, including one nine-year-old girl, born on 9/11 (apparently with a precocious interest in politics). Now politics has reached the 'postal' level and is conflated with gun rights and extreme righteousness. Ironically, she is a supporter of gun rights. 1/8/2013 Two-year anniversary of the shooting of Gabby Giffords. She and her husband were interviewed by Diane Sawyer. One can imagine their empathy for all gun violence victims in the last 2 years. She is a supporter of gun rights and one would think she carries, but some people probably would never be brave enough to use it. 1/8/2022 Bowie's 75th. Revisited some interview greatest hits. Podcast Episode: On Tactility In Music Watched old 1980s doc on Frank Lloyd Wright, just because it was there in my YT feed. One thing I'm sure of is he must have become somewhat of a misanthrope and rather championed things interesting and beautiful in architecture, which have withstood the test of time. *** Question on Quora: If you could change anything about the music industry, what would it be and why? I always wonder why I answer these questions, but then I realize that it's a reason to think about things, then use the writing somewhere else. This is also why I wonder if people are just texting now how will that add up to anything in the future? Zero historical value? In a practical sense, we can become involved in exploring how artists can monetize intellectual property. This is partly the idea of using the Blockchain, and in some ways has the same revolutionary spirit of Napster as a form of restoring ideas of democracy and equality. But I wonder if it's simply a paradox in which compromise is the only viable solution. *** 1/8/2048 From Reset 2046 (Anthony Townes) Jon sent me a story about the future of music being more microtonal and raga-based and wants to start using it as an AJ. We've never thought that ethnological history going back centuries could be "algorithmic", but it is in fact, as it has existed in cryptoculture since the 2020s.
