About this episode
How do we stay creative and inspired in a digital world filled with constant noise, distractions, and context collapse? In this reflective exploration, we dive into the challenges artists and creators face in today's overwhelming online environment—where attention spans shrink, authenticity is rare, and AI-generated content threatens our creative identity. Drawing inspiration from history's great pivots—like Van Gogh’s shift during the photography revolution—we uncover timeless insights about what it truly means to make meaningful art. If you've ever struggled to find clarity and depth in your creative work amid the chaos of social media and digital overload, this is for you. Let's reclaim the space for genuine creativity and explore how embracing authenticity, soul, and depth can help us rise above the noise.
