FANTASTIC NEW SERIES FROM NPR AND JASON KING ABOUT THE CREATIVE PROCESS. THE FIRST ONE I HAVE SEEN IS WITH MIGUEL. BETTER THAN MIGUEL'S ANSWERS ARE JASON'S QUESTIONS. HE HAS A GROUNDED GRASP ON MUSIC.

THEIR SONS AND DAUGHTERS WORK IN EACH FACET OF THE BUSINESS NOW.
HIP HOP STYLE VIA
I WATCHED THIS THE OTHER NIGHT AND SCREEN GRABBED AS I WATCHED.
I FOCUSED ON THE JOURNEY FROM THE 90'S TO NOW.
SO MANY INFLUENTIAL STYLE MOMENTS EXPRESSED BY THESE ARTISTS.
THE FASHION INDUSTRY PIVOTED ON THESE MOVES SO MANY TIMES.
THE INTERSECTION OF FASHION AND MUSIC WAS MY PRIMARY INTEREST IN THAT WORLD.
FASHION IS SO UP IT'S OWN ASS ON ITS OWN. SEEING FASHION ON MUSICIANS SOMEHOW LEGITIMIZES AND GRIMES IT UP AT THE SAME TIME. MAKING IT A PILL THAT CAN BE SWALLOWED.
CONSTRUCTED - PAWEL NOLBERT
I LOVE THIS. nolbert.com
THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS WORK:
Series of photos on the topic of human memory, perception of reality and creation of subjective, distorted reality on social media.
I took my travel photos and just like we all do before posting it, I messed around with them a bit... trying to create my perfect version of reality. I also collected some thoughts and questions about it, under #consciousPictures
"We construct our reality in our own way. We do that everyday on our instagrams, blogs and other carefully curated outlets.
Knowing that the world around us doesn't look like this, we somehow want to believe that all those often extremely filtered and post-processed images in our IG stream are actually the real thing."
"We never recall things exactly as they happened. We remember them in our personal way. One, true version of reality doesn't exist."
The creation of the series raised questions like: where does the "photo" end and "graphy" begin? The use of what tools make it a photograph, and distinct it from a graphic? Does it make sense to create that distinction anymore? And so on...

THE ROSE + THE SHINS
I WAS SITTING AT THE ROSE EST. RECENTLY WHILE THE SHINS -CHUTES TO NARROW PLAYED OVER THEIR SPEAKERS. FOR SOME REASON THESE TWO THINGS HAVE BECOME QUINTESSENTIALLY SALT LAKE CITY FOR ME. THE DESIGN OF THE ROSE, THE LOCATION DOWNTOWN AND THAT ALBUM ARE ALL NOSTALGIC FOR ME WHEN I LIVED DOWNTOWN 15 YEARS AGO - IT'S LIKE A TIME WARP IN A GOOD WAY.
