Dollcee said, if we had gone to some institution and been taught how to be content makers, instead of jumping into it totally ignorant. Do you think it would be that much different for us?
Dos said, golly Dollcee, that is a really big question and I would not have a clue about how to answer it. We appear to know how to make digital content for Digi-totallity, but we don’t seem to understand how to go about the audience side of things, mainly because of lack of understanding of what a Fan is or isn’t. We know we are part of the culture, but everything and whatever, seems to be a great big conceptual blockage for us.
Dollcee, asked Dos, have you ever known anyone who has been to an institution?
Dos said, some of the neighborhood kids I grew up with, were sent to an institution for some time to help them overcome their commitment to graffiti.
They were made to attend art classes at the institution and they said that these classes made them conceptually impotent to continue as graffitists. It was pointed out to them that they were in fact out of touch romantic structuralists and they had totally missed the paradigm shift towards neo-deconstructualization of hyper-egoism.
Dollcee said, what a killer, it is hard enough making ends meet being a digital content maker. Where do they get all the money from to buy all those spray paint cans to be a graffitist.
Cybo, whirred and stirred, I think institutional training is good for confidence enhancement through cultural recognition of minimum class attendance over a set period of time. Being able to associate with other awkward pre-developed entities enables participants to understand the dress code for the not-uniformed.
Dollcee said, sometimes I think independent digital content makers like us, lower the high standards of established art.
Dos said, I thought all we are doing is utilizing current technology to reflect on the culture we think we are part of. If that culture is based on superficial exploitation, where quantity is preferred to quality, where craft is seen as an arduous task and not as a contemplative and enjoyable expression of everything and whatever, then, I am a very misguided fellow.
Dollcee said, lets’ keep doing what we do.
