My first reaction to this video, just seeing the title and thumbnail, was to scoff. "how stupid nonartists are" i thought to myself "i see art all the time, i live art". Not even five minutes in i understand the point of the video. Art is being drowned out, forced into an aesthetic for nonartists, for corporations, for the media. Our life is art, wheere we live, the food we eat, the movies we watch, the logos of corporations, art is everywhere outside and inside of us. Art takes time and energy, something not many people have in this day and age. Why bother spending a long time on a painting if itll just be glanced at and passed by with no further thought? As much as i love making my art beautiful, i miss the meaning behind most art. And again, i havent watched the whole video yet so i might come back with more understanding
I can't agree more as an artist. Art was went to polarize and challenge views. I have so much trouble even getting excited for a project bc it all feels so pointless and it leaves me feeling empty
You explained why art has disappeared within the first minute. “It is a reflection of our times” And in our time all of the reflective surfaces are owned by corporations.
I guess then technically art still does reflect the times. Just not in an individualistic manner
It’s not an explanation. In the past they had a very similar problem in a sense, the absence of these channels. The medium that they used is still open to people today, canvas and paint. I think it’s always a mistake to think that you are the one who can define a complete reality and know how the future will look back on art as an embodiment of a certain period. We lack the necessary perspective. This has always been the case.
Exactly
This is what Andy Warhol predicted art would be like in the future. That is why he used to create art with corporate logos, replicas, and celebrities over 50 years ago. He also said in the future everyone would be famous for 15 seconds. He was ahead of his time.
It was 15 Minutes.
He was not ahead of his time, he understood what game was being played at that time and he showcased it. The game has not changed since then.
@@roxanne_ Yeah he understood what art would look like in a world dominated by late stage capitalism
Art doesn't die. It is intrinsically tied to human consciousness. It's just being more quiet compared all the current noise at the moment.
Well said, we live in a society of surveillance, humanity is in hiding
@@TheXrythmicXtongue perfect way of putting it. I’m an art student and I’d argue art is more present than ever due to accessibility. Often people are hiding their true passion in aesthetics in order for it to bridge the gap between art lovers and those who like to look at pretty things. Personally I feel like art is a transmutation of consciousness but as out world becomes increasingly capitalized people care less about self expression and more about perfection. Honestly it’s not much different than the Renaissance when you think of it that way imo
@@TheXrythmicXtongue exactly what I thought. Art hasn't disappeared, it's being drowned out, but if you dig you can find it again. As an artist I see so much art every single day, it hasn't gone anywhere, and if you find the right artist, it does still reflect life.
As an artist who tends toward political art, and art that reflects what I see going on, I think about this ALL THE TIME. You can lose everything for touching a nerve in almost any industry. Thank you for explicating this so beautifully. It earned you a join. :)
KEEP TOUCHING EM THO
That’s not new. It has always been an element of oppositional art.
@@micca903 Of course, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't think about it. Art is about communication - how do I effectively communicate to the people who most need to hear or see what's being communicated? How do I make sure that I'm communicating clearly and convincingly? I think what she says at the end is what needs to be wrestled with - maturity, intelligence, without speaking down to the person you're trying to impact. And yes, you can lose everything, including your voice, if you aren't careful in your approach. Wouldn't you agree?
@@nanon1 I’m sorry, it’s not my intention to judge you. All I really meant was that this isn’t a new phenomenon and it’s part of oppositional art. It’s not a complete explanation for why there’s so little art in general and so much of it is let’s just say non-impactful. I see people attempting it in media but you can’t really authentically criticize capitalism for example from the comfortable position of a corporate function. You end up with these watered down messages that nobody really enjoys. Corporate media seems the most unsuitable medium for oppositional art if you ask me. It just seems so naïve that people think that they can make a lot of money while trying to be oppositional.
Fellow artist here too! I'd love to see your work (or hear your ideas) if you're comfortable sharing. We as artists aren't too powerful on our own, we have to stick together!
I’m a white man, 50+, living in Sweden. Never rollerskating, thought that was a 70s thing… and still the algorithm found your content…. So when someone drops of because of new content… some new souls will discover it.
I really like your vibe and style, it’s thoughtful and authentic…
This a random question but are most people living in Sweden upper middle class and or rich?
In response to “where did art go?” 0:11
It is there, it’s just not in the algorithm. It’s in galleries and low traffic accounts, channels and platforms… it’s definitely there…
Bingo!!!!! Especially small channels. I have a small channel where I do vaporwave edits. The smaller channels get drowned out by the noise, but we still gonna hold it down regardless.
It's graffiti on the walls, it's in extremely passionate zines that only survive through a few strange benefactors, it's all over the poorest corners of India, Vietnam, South Africa and the last Native lands in the Americas. It's a shame we may never see these beautiful works and get AI garbage shoved in our faces instead
@@penimeth6472 yep, this exactly. It’s there, the algorithm just doesn’t show it to you. You have to know where to find it
Thank you. Just because it doesn't have a thousand likes doesn't mean it's gone. Popularity is utterly ridiculous
It is
Lauryn Hill said it best when facing industry expectations, "I can't leave 1/3 of me out the door." I get something out of all your videos. Keep doing you!
🎯 Dasia #doesitall 💯
Love that! Thank you so much for gifting me this!
Lauren Hill is a fraud
Artist here! We’re still making real art. Don’t worry, it will gain momentum and rise up again :), it always does
You and me both
@@rustymotionstudio4717 Just personally I don't prefer wording it as "real" art.. it's a little saddening to have any art be insinuated as not being real
If I misunderstood how you meant it or anything else, feel free to roast me 🙏
@@fulicious2991 I don’t feel the need to roast you! I think of “real” art as being nutritious to the soul. It brings meaning and understanding to its viewer. There’s another kind of “art” that steals from its viewer. It is advertisement masquerading as art. I wasn’t referring the craft/ art discussion, which is just harmful to makers. We’re all making stuff and that’s something to be celebrated.
@@fulicious2991 AI art (unless used intentionally for making a statement) could be seen as not "real art" it's a soulless imitation
Art has been suppressed drastically, due to the big impact that it has in the human mind and creativity… As an Indian indigenous I know that we as a people lived and breathed art into the world before our traumatic time at the hands of the natural backward living people. ( Cough Cough)… Art is still alive but it is wisely developed and distributed at a way slower and less impressive and impactful pace due to the handlers and people in places of power in all industries. We are the only people who know how to truly impact the masses in an uplifting & uniting manner.
I agree only to a degree. Art only needs evoke emotion. Reflecting the times is just another facet of evoking an emotion. Personally I like art that takes me away from the current times, I like to be taken to a completely different ethereal realm in my mind. Saying art NEEDS to have a reflection of the time is more or less documenting history, it’s not a qualification for art. As long as I feel anything, including “art isn’t reflecting the times” means that the piece of work evoked that thought and emotion thusly being art. So removing reflection of the current times is just as much a form of art as reflecting it. Being observant of the times doesn’t make your art smarter nor better than choosing to ignore it. All art is equally beautiful.
completely Ignorance or I could say neo-liberalism mindset
@@thechica3918so, sacred art like Bach s music, or even medieval music, wich celebrated cultural togetherness, for the latter, and deviate from reality, wich was born out off a necessity to connect with divine, and also worship it openly, and extremely artfuly. All off them were neo liberal mindset examples of ppl? To escape current times and being in search of comodity and pleasure through arts, and put an end momentarily to reality s hardships, and expressing also taboo (augmented fourth s musical interval, wich drove musicians to be beheaded, the devils music, u know) and therefore freedom off expression and speech. Nope, escapism through art is neo liberal mindset. What can i say? Thank u for not allowing us, artists, to be adventurous and bold through expressiveness, with narrow minded outlook about what art should be and downplaying ppl s talent, due to their uncompromising attitude. Like it aint worth being called art. U gotta be dog styling me 🤣, is that the best u can do?
This why my husband and I are I proud to live in Denver, CO. All forms of Art are represented here 24/7. It’s beautiful to see Art in every direction. Along with green parks in every neighborhood along with a high walkability for all.
What’s the weather like in Denver this time of year?
@@DasiaDoesIt hot and dry but sometimes rain
@@DasiaDoesIt , mid 80s and sunny during the day, and mid to low 60s at night, occasional light scattered showers maybe once a week. Quite pleasant.
only if you live in the high income areas, just like any other city....
walking.....in CO, that doesnt sound right : P
Dasia - a suggestion and a plea.....make this video into a book. It's already a great outline. Genuinely. Go for it. It's that good/that important.
wait a minute!!!! I am so glad you made this. I first listen to Old Man River from Judy Gardland, then I saw in the comments that it was originally sung by a black man. I have been listening to his and Judy version for a moment now. And I did not know ANY of the history of this man. It's like, how much more history is just buried? It's crazy.Like....its just insane, even the clips I find of that era. I have been obsessed with the Harlem renaissance and this is something.
NOthing is buried. You have to just have the curiosity to look.
Paul RobEson. Jewess here and so beloved by immediate and extended family. Not great how he was treated in the States.
I don't know about America, but Paul Robeson was certainly famous around the world. He was widely considered to have the best basso profundo voice. We had records of him when I was a child.
I actually remember that Old Man River was sung by someone with a deep male voice. The name Robson being spoken sparked a feeling of familiarity with my mind.
@@THRITCHIE76 you mean a guy with a deep voice
Hi. I just wanted to say that Paul Robeson was actually an active Socialist (and one of many during his time). His politics that supported Pan African and Asian anti-colonial anti- imperialist people's movements and in support of the USSR were why he was surpressed at the height of the so called red scare era.
Imagine going after folks because they want everyone to have housing healthcare and human rights, and to not be colonized, not have the land they occupy explioited by United Fruit Co.
Ironically the red scare Mccarthyist era directly paralleled communist social censorship in Europe. It reminds me of this memoire from Croatian journalist Slavenka Drakulic called How We Survived Communism and Even Laughed. In the first chapter she details how a friend’s life was destroyed because her article on pinball machines (or gumball machines, can’t remember) inadvertently exposed the lies and absurdity of their government’s propaganda.
Thank you for this!! It’s insane the levels they went to shut down his activism. You’re exactly right, imagine forming a committee to hunt down people talking about helping the common man.
It's being exploited by China
I think we’re back there again unfortunately.
I'm so happy that this video found me. Really well done - thank you for your work. As a professional visual artist, i have personally experienced censorship because I spoke up about Gaza. Two galleries have canceled my shows, but it just inspires me to create with more integrity. Really loved this! Going independent!❤️
Recently I've become totally fed up with our online existence and my advice to everyone is: ENGAGE WITH YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY! I know its not groundbreaking, I'm not the first person to say this and I pray I won't be the last but I feel like in the digital age its something that doesn't happen nearly enough. As an artist myself I've also tried to stop checking views on videos and such, deleted social media and just kinda started focusing on the act of creating itself. Good fun, this was an awesome video, about to go down the Paul Robeson pipeline now, its better late than never haha
So true!! I’m a full-time artist and it’s out in the community, in Art Walks and festivals, small gallery openings and open studio days. There are still tons of people who appreciate it for what it brings to the community.
In Hip Hop it has a struggle. Nas, Kendrick Lamar, KRS One, J Cole, Common, Black Thought, and Oddisee, help keep the consciousness of Hip Hop.
Noname, Rhapsody, Tierra whack
@@copiouscat , yes them too. I should’ve kept them out
more recommendations of rappers i got: smino, jid, mavi, saba, redveil
@@wydmatt7294 , they are fire! I like them.
Don’t forget amine or Vince staples!
Weird how people take things so personally when someone they don't even know has a differing opinion. Keep making content on what calls to you. I'm here for the ride and I always learn something from your content.
This is my favourite new favourite YT channel thank you for work
Wow, thank you!😊
Firstly, I'm sorry to hear about your brother. My condolences 🙏
I think the support of art is dying more than making art is. I know where I'm at, a lot of artists of different disciplines are burnt out, especially if they're into activism. And we've all had to figure out how to support ourselves while still remaining active in our communities. A lot of us turned to teaching or being a teaching artist, but even that isn't always sustainable and you have to want to educate. It can't just be a gig to do, especially now with more schools closing.
Thank you for this video, and the insights/questions you ask.
This part, society isn’t set up to provide support for artists. Everything is commodified, mass produced and sold and people buy what they have been trained to buy or can’t live without.
Have you ever bought a painting? The average person doesn’t own art . They don’t see the value it has for them. This can change through art education. The pubic and youth need to get used to valuing , understanding creating and aquiring works of art.
Thank you for putting my thoughts into words. 💕 I have tried to speak on this with my husband and friends, but it wasn’t as articulate and clear as you put it.
I’ve heard the warnings of censorship on art since I was 6, I am now 28. It really saddens me to see such art from music to canvas being silenced over the years because “it does not fit with ads”. The media just becomes a repetitive cycle of “safe art”.
Paul Robeson had tenacity! I love Paul Robeson! One of my favorites, fr.
@@marshunnaclark5829 this! just listening to his interviews blows my mind!
I definitely agree with this a lot. I’m an autistic trans guy, and I’m also a guitarist. Plus, I live in Florida. I’m hoping to start a RUclips channel where I post my music stuff, but I also want to discuss media I enjoy and do analysis of said media with a philosophical and political lens. I want to write songs about my struggles finding employment, my fears, and the fact that it’s illegal to transition in my state as a legal adult. I think a lot of trans people (and people who are struggling financially) will relate to the content.
I know that my art will probably never go mainstream (especially the genre of music I want to make), but I’m okay with that. I just hope I can have the money and time to do it once I move out of my parents house (they’re against social media, so I can’t post content on any app. I need to move out first).
@@Reed5016 as a fellow floridian please share your art when you can! your voice is needed ❤️
@@aielianna Thanks for the encouragement. My music genres is in the metal genre (death-doom metal specifically). It’s definitely not for everyone, but I’m pretty passionate about it.
The video essays are also important to me. I already have a few ideas for video topics already.
i’m begging for more and more video essay style content from you i love your mind
as an artist i can also say, its also become super difficult to be an artist in such a corporate heavy world, creativity is very limited rn
I’m grateful for your skate videos to have the algorithm to bring you to me. I’m here for it all though! You are a breath of fresh air, so dynamic in every way.
I am so absolutely delighted that this video found me. I’ve been passionate about art since before I could speak, and it’s been a huge part of my entire life every single day. I often try to articulate the “history” behind the commodification of art in society, and it usually baffles people when I really try to emphasize how everything changed so drastically once a television being in every family’s home was the norm and commercials and news stations wrote the narrative for us; at the time it seemed so easy, so convenient. Then the internet came along and the process circled back again. We’ve had like more changes and advancements to our society in the past 60 years than generations before us had in over 200 years. We are moving at light speed, and I’ve always truly believed that the reason art is disappearing…is because the artists who make them don’t and can’t exist anymore. Once our world decides to accept and make a space for real, actual art again…we will never ever experience art like we have as a human society since the beginning of time. How we are exposed to art and how we experience it nowadays is so different than just 50 years ago. That’s barely one persons lifetime. That’s absolutely insane to me, and when I try to explain the gravity of that fact to people it just seems like they don’t get it.
I desperately hope we can come together and create spaces for art and artists, as I believe every single person has art inside of them they’re meant to create and share - you are supposed to tell your story, express yourself, leave your mark. No matter what that might be, from a really good cookie recipe to a film or play that might cause a revolution. You never know who will see and hear your story; that person might be in a position to help people and help our world, and your story could inspire them to take the first step. Please, if you’re reading this rant….please make art. Please be creative. No matter who you are, your story is meant to be known.
Thank you so much for this video and I second the comments suggesting you format this into a book ❤
in a way,,, your channel reflects you your life and your art...
You are inspiring! I can’t believe I watched the entire video with my short attention span. Thanks for the message.
This was a wonderfully important video and I agree with everything said. I hope more people are able to watch this video. Commenting for algorithmic purposes mainly here.
Your first video I see!!! This is so wonderful and important. Art is still political… on the margins. As a Puerto Rican living in Texas I have and continue to see beautiful and fierce artistic expressions from the Latino, Black and Indigenous who have less to lose and more to gain.
Protest murals, music, poetry, and plays are thriving… in Spanish, in the colonies, in periphery.
Art is so powerful that it is suppressed. My most traumatic university course was called Latin American Protest Music. Victor Jara was tortured and killed for his music, so many others have had to run, hide, and disguise their messages in quirky puns. Most of these politics in South America came from the United States. The suppression here is more passive aggressive. Singers like Macklemore and Calle 13 are not given air time. The Chicks were ostracized for speaking out against the Iraq War.
But on the ground, it is still happening.
Again thank you for this video because we really do live in a dystopian nightmare and many people are only now starting to see it!
There are so many undeveloped artist who are content creators. I’d love to see them be developed and grow into their art.
I just want to say that I’m grateful for this commentary. We need to encourage society to engage critically in the content and art we encounter. It’s so important for our individual and collective growth.
Thank you for acknowledging journalism as a form of art. It is so comforting as a journalist myself
Strange how so many subjects are labeled as "Liberal Arts" and then disdained as "Not Art" when someone deigns to practice them.
@@JasminemPolyanthum absolutely 👏
Idk if I can watch this video about "where did art go?" when it looks like AI generated images have been used for the thumbnail (I really hope this was intentional and used to make a point). The sign on the left says POLITICAL UNRIRESS". What is "unriress"?? No human painted that
It does not just look like it, it is definitely ai generated.
My thoughts exactly
I think it was intentionally included on the thumbnail because she makes a point to talk about a problematic example of “AI art” that relates to global issues.
“The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.”
-Toni Cade Bambara
The algorithm just randomly brought this very important video to me❤
I'm so appreciative you art is reflective of the times. This is inspiring me to finally start my channel to share my perspective.
I personally don't think art is dead. It's just more constrained and we've lost our connection to it because what is in us that chooses to express ourselves through art has been hijacked by corporations through tools like media. The fact that social media apps have been proven to be potentially addictive (with the advent of phenomenon like 'doom scrolling'), just tells you everything you need to know. Our own psyche is being used against us to keep us docile, and in the event that we look up from our screens and peek past the veil, we immediately crave comfort in order to forget the disturbance by looking at forms of art that make us feel good e.g. comfort movies. We are at a point where we are so comfortable that it's easy to forget what disturbs us, and that's really scary.
Came for the skating, stayed for the intellectual discourse ❤I have been an artist in some form for my entire life. I've tried several incarnations of "working artist" but they never really panned out. For all of the reasons you have mentioned, it's been astronomically challenging to be visible as an artist in this society. I'll address another facet of why art is disappearing-I was publishing my sketchbook pages on my IG but I had to stop when I learned that Meta is using published authentic art to train their AI to generate images in that artist's particular style without consent or compensation! This means that anyone with the help of AI may generate art in the style of that artist thus putting that artist out of business (if they had any success to begin with.) So it seems now not only does art not reflect reality, but it may turn into AI art that is not even real at all.
Please keep making these videos!!! I loved this and literally 90% of the videos I see above 30 mins I can not finish watching
I'm so glad I saved this as dessert for the weekend because it was so rich!!
I’m so attracted to your mind Dasia as well your natural beauty respectfully. I found your content on project 2025 very informative but definitely like this content on art which I do feel lacks genuine authenticity of realty.
Now art seems to be about what sales instead of what propels truth.
Well, daah, I “thought” I knew the magnificent voice of Paul Robeson singing
“Old Man River”.
Now (near age 78), I hear jaw dropping information of his genius! My sincerest gratitude Daisa!❤️
Hi! Artist and fellow RUclipsr here! I’m an instant subber! Thanks for this O refuse to choose a niche! I am so glad you are talking bout this.
This was a great way to spend the 55:50 minutes! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it's greatly appreciated! Keep them coming. By the way, October is cool cat!
Just like streaming services snuffing out any means to access indie films which generally have deeper relatable meaning.... I appreciate the effort to educate and promote digging through the fluff for real art
A minute in and I’m already obsessed ❤ Keep doing your thing 🤩 Very meaningful content
The algorithm reached in my brain today and served me this video. I was just thinking about creators getting boxed in while I was reading Amusing Ourselves to Death. Happy to have come across you and hear your thoughts ❤
Whenever I'm starved for good takes Dasia comes to the rescue! Thank you, keep up keeping on
I enjoyed hearing your perspective! I’ve thought alot about this over the years. The algorithms make it impossible to paint what I truly want to paint. When I paint the more depressing reality of humanity I feel like I’m punished by the algorithms, I’ve had to make separate accounts to post the art that reflects reality
I subbed because you were experiencing grief and chose to make art in order to ease your heart's pain
Thank you for speaking on this
Joined for the skating, stayed for the philosophy. I think I’ll rather enjoy the journey with you. Thank you for sharing. ♥️🇬🇧
Thank you so much for your videos. They really helped spark something in me and helped me confirm the validity of my feelings.
I tried to make a living creating short videos of my sport with the purpose of being monetized so I had to go viral for each one. It worked for a little while, I had some shorts get millions of views and I got monetized (almost enough to sustain myself) but I felt like such a hypocrite to put out bland, watered down versions of what I do out there. I felt increasingly useless and disconnected from myself and reality and so I stopped all-together and got a 'regular job'. As soon as I did I felt immediate relief at the thought of not having to stress out about trying to make content to please and pacify the masses.. Now I'm reconnecting with my art and sport and I'm getting ready to share what I truly want to see out there in the world. I feel so much more creative now and I'm excited to share real things, to work on projects that are meaningful and true to what's around me and in the world.
So thank you for the extra little nudge in that direction 😊❤
Amazingly well said perspective. I'm glad you branched out!
I am so grateful your channel appeared on my homepage. This and your project 2025 video are reminding me what I care about and what I’m here for. Thank you for making these amazing videos.
14:57 bowies smile says it all and i love it😭 “black artists won’t appeal, but a bisexual man’s music is more appealing to the country. interesting”
Wonderful video. Well educated, well researched, insightful, and thought provoking. Keep doing you girl I love to see creators like you
Hello. I cannot speak about popular music because i don't listen to it. I can mention that there are a plethora of contemporary visual artists of every race and culture making art that address societal ills. I will list a few here but please do a bit of digging and find an artist YOU resonate with.
Ai Wei Wei, Dred Scott, Faith Ringgold, Chella Man, Madeline Sayet.
This is not a criticism of your video at all, im happy i found your content and will continue to watch ❤
@@SureLokHolmes no Im so glad you did mention them! I’ll compile a list of everyone’s recommendations and share them! Thank you for being here!
You are inspiring me. I hope that this kind of creator attitude spreads like wildfire 💖
I had this thought recently after watching Chappell Roan’s VMA performance of Good Luck, Babe- and the stage was lit on fire with many knights sword fighting. My first thought was wow she’s so fucking cool. My second thought was why is war an aesthetic? More specifically why is ancient war an aesthetic and not the current wars that are happening. Why is war conveyed by swords and flames instead of bombs and rubble?
My thought is that maybe art doesn’t reflect reality right now because we are all too uncomfortable with the reality we have to see every day. Art has been monetized and treated as a medicine for reality. Art is hyperrealism, surrealism, pixels, stylized characters, fantasy, marketing.. I’ve been told several times since the AI boom that we artists must “make ourselves stand out from the rest” or to be irreplaceable by a machine. This could easily drive someone closer to clarifying their unique expression of the truth, or dig someone deeper into an intentional specificity with no real ties to the world around them.
P.S. I haven’t watched the video yet I just love this topic so much and also Chappell Roan. Ty for posting this ❤
Thank you for covering this... I feel more strongly about voicing the feelings of the time through my art.
Thank you for sharing! I appreciate and enjoy your perspective, because I noticed this monumental shift in art as a whole and thought I was alone in a void. Thanks for proving me wrong! ✨😁✨ Also, October is iconic. Can’t wait to see more of your dissertations!
Yes, I'd like a video on media literacy, because you are excellent at presentation and research. Keep preachin' queen. You're good at this.
Omg I love all your content. It started with skating- but I really like listening to your pov about everything! You are very smart- emotional intelligence too- THIS IS WHAT SOCIAL MEDIA IS FOR!!
I knew that when I clicked on this video, I was going to have to think a lot. Oddly enough, I think that art not reflecting its time is actually a reflection of the time. Like when you see a gap of just like random entertainment, nonsensical things when you look back on these moments and all of these years that all of the stuff has been going on, the conversation will be around the political climate at the time and why everything was so censored down and thought-provoking. I do believe that the pendulum will eventually swing back into the other direction but right now we're going through a phase of anti-intellectualism anti-education, anti-reading anti-anything that resembles someone feeling, like there were less than because they're not as well or smart or willing to engage with critical conversations. I believe this might happen around generation beta though.
An artist who should get some props is The White Woman Whisperer. Knitting Cult Lady showed up in my feed, and that's how I came to watch The White Woman Whisperer. They do a joint dialog. Thing is, the algorithm first gave me Cults to Consciousness, which is pretty polished, (pretty awesome, lots of followers and likes), and then Knitting Cult Lady, and to this day, practically tries to hide The White Woman Whisperer, and she's one smart cookie. She's grounded, and an absolute joy to watch! If you're interested in liberation, check her out! That's been her jam!
Came here for rollersakes and found a gem of a channel. Thank you Dasia, I like this corner of the internet 🎉
This is brilliant! I teach high school. I will make this discussion required listening! Thank you!
I'm a new sub-
this is so fascinating!!!
Thank you! ❤
Edit to say;
that tea cup is gorgeous!
Thank you for not only making this but also branching out and using your platform to share important information and speak on the things that are important to you. Its been a breath of fresh air to hear another person highlight the importance of these topics. 💖 The desire for authenicity isnt completely dead. Please keep bein you ✨️
I just want to make a shoutout to the choice of turning the pitch up on Drumpf's voice. It's the only time I have found myself NOT having the impule to skip through the dialogue out of exhaustion. I can hardly stand to hear his voice anymore. I also miss McCain at this point. Comparatively an excellent representative.
on a serious comment / thought before we watch the video - art /is/ being made that reflects reality and the current times - there has been a growing alienation between the broader public and the art community, with artists themselves becoming increasingly marginalized from the spaces where their work was once more accessible-compounded by issues such as AI art theft. Nowadays the non-artist community often struggle to locate or even recognize these works as the reflections they are - it not a question of the responsibility one group needs to take to bridge the gap, but ( in our thought) one of collaboration; . excited to watch the video when we have a moment to see if this thought gets addressed!
0:43 this is why the nft-types get so giddy about AI destroying artists, writers, musicians, etc 🙃😒
Edit: Paul Robeson is truly amazing and I heard about him too late as well! I heard of him through his singing which brought me to his travels through Ireland speaking in support of republicanism (different than the capital R in the US lol🙃) and singing to striking workers. Then the rabbithole i followed was the same you described, like deeply confused that it took so long
That comment about Tyler Childers blew my mind. I spent all 22 years of my life in Kentucky, and he is the ONLY country music artist I like in the slightest. It makes so much sense to me now why that is. I never realized how fake modern country music is, but most country artists aren't even country. Tyler Childers is actually from Kentucky. Taylor Swift is from Pennsylvania
hilarious after resonating to your message an AI ad pops up!!! Let's keep it REAL baby!!! Art from the HEART -
She uses AI generated immages for her Thumbnail...
When you said that "You are more than your hobby or job" that's one of the main points in Taxi Driver (1976)
I've always been part of the outcasts and have had a lot of painful events throughout life, but whenever I tell people real world struggles they get almost hostile so I understand what you are saying about people only wanting the status-quo. It's an odd world.
Just got recommended this video, which is quite curious cuz my algo gives me antiestablishment, long format video essays on the regular and I love it. But this video felt reassuring, thank you :)
Your thesis here is so correct and it's something so few of us have noticed. It's worth meditating on and seeing what we can bring back into our creative work.
I’m so glad your content is not mind numbing. I’m sketching as I listen and my mind is definitely very much engaged by your words 😎
I needed this for my shift last night 😭 I hope that’s not AI art in the thumbnail (the illegible words and signs usually are a giveaway) coz that is so ironic 😭😂 can’t wait to watch this later at work and think about how it relates to the art history I’m currently studying!🙌🏾
@@BlahNetworkBro it is lmao👀
Its to 10000000% Ai generated they also had a different thumbnail before changing it, at that too was was also AI generated...
I loved this conversation, thank you so much for sharing with us ❤
3 mins in and I’m moved. Thank you 🙏🏾
Wow - I just stumbled on this video. So well researched and so well thought out. A pleasure to watch and I agree with the premises (happily and sometimes sadly).
Instant subscribe. I am so inspired by this video and what you shared with me. Corporations and society at the moment make you feel helpless, but it’s a lie. Make art that reflects society, make commentary that reflects society, make it!!! It doesn’t matter if one person or one million see it, because your art and your voice matters.
I was just talking about this with a friend the other day. I’m so happy you spoke on this.
Wow I definitely want to hear more of your media and culture ideas
i build guitars with reclaimed wood and other garbage i pilfer from road sides and dumpsters, my art is very much so a reflection of reality, its social satire that shines a light on how much waste we produce with no reguard for the envirnment
I wanna like this video several times over. I keep pausing to leave a like cause the info is so good, only to see I've liked it already. I was truly unprepared for you to go the places you did, though I was familiar with pretty much everything presented (R.I.P. Paul Robeson). Really glad you got in to the neo-Hays Code that is demonitization and the algorithm. It's good to hear more voices speaking out and your perspective gave me a lot to think about.
Never thought I'd hear myself openly root for my former senator when discussing The Chicks... Thanks for that, now I gotta scrub my mouth out lol
Fr tho, thanks a lot for the video! It's been a nice relaxing thinker after a hard day of work.
first time seeing you, love this, do this, and more of what you want immediately. would love to see them.
You are unto something there with that Nike and Collin analogy. They were definitely trying to save face not to lose their key consumers.
Thank you for Paul Robeson. I’m digging the hell IN!❤
I've never seen your content before, but I have to say, I truly enjoyed this video and look forward to seeing more. ❤
Deeply appreciate this share Dasia! Discernment, balance, creativity and community are the medicine.
I don't think art is dead more than people decided they loved slop and nebulous pleasure more than engaging with a piece. The youth also found hyperconsumerism useful as a mode of shaping identity - a phenomenon that soon spread to their parents as they were sold lifestyles instead of mere products.
What's crazy and funny is that when you show Aunt Jemima. I'm currently taking Art class and we was going over the introduction of art, in the textbook it showed Aunt Jemima lol
So when she started explaining her origin, it sounded so beautifully meaningful, subscribed just a few moments in ❤
For a country artist that reflects the times I’d give JJ grey & Mofro a listen. More like southern soul but songs like Lochloosa really reflect the Florida experience. Gotta love swamp rock/ country 🤘🌿🌴
I feel like there is a lot of art being made now that is reflecting society it’s just as profitable so people aren’t being shown it so you really need to look for it
