This video helped me realise that maybe everything will be okay. I’ve been putting so much pressure on myself to make amazing art so that people will take me seriously but in doing that, I’m loosing the purpose of the art. I need to use it to satisfy myself first. Art has been hit by capitalism and most people feel that art serves no purpose unless to profit off of. This video is a great reminder that that doesn’t have to be the case :)
I would love to hear more about your personal website creation process and readings about the addictive design of corporate tech. I'm trying to learn more about these things myself. I'm reading "How to Do Nothing" and it's making me think about how I spend my time and what I pay attention to more.
love the way you compiled this! really makes me think about the physical media we own, but also the physical media we can make and own! perhaps why i love film so much. how fleeting life is, cats and food. ty for sharing bb!
the compositions you've made here are so beautiful, I've never really thought of making a photobook and this makes me want to start one soon. ty for the inspo!
Dude I love The Night is Short, Walk on Girl . I applaud everything you said I also enjoyed the underline search for hedonistic art and humanity that seemed to be underlined throughout the movie.
This was really inspiring, thank you. All of the examples were so helpful but the most helpful thing was you saying ‘it’s going t9 be bad, and that’s ok. Make it anyway.’ Thanks for the video!
its so fun seeing people love on the idiot. i immediately bought the sequel but still haven't read it! i think I've been waiting for my start of grad school this fall to be even more immersed into selin's world hehehe
I just started exploring creativity, fashion, music, arts like photography and overall design of anything. I've finally started to push myself to just start creating despite the fact I have zero background skills and it's currently bad art. This video feels like a perfectly timed appearance. Thanks for the confidence boost and encouragement :) Definitely subbing too.
I cannot wait for your video essay and I am so intrigued about this concept of dumbing down your phone. Inspired. Planning to pick up the idiot this fall and this made me extra excited. Cheers to that, cheers to more reading and writing, cheers to existing!
looove that your building your own microsite outside of all the platforms that we have. in efforts, it's worldbuilding and i'm here for it! TAKE ME TO PATOLAND!!!
funny how you started talking about making your own website just as I was thinking that your videos give me that amazing og internet feeling of being 10 and encountering a person who lives on the other side of the globe for the first time on a game chat or sth. Like the it's stil 2005 and the internet is new and exciting. hope reclaiming the internet as something we use for ourselves and not for others & creating a persona that other people perceive as x or y becomes the next hot trend
I LOVE that type of reading experience - like when you feel this book is so delightful for you. I love dogs laying on humans and napping. It’s the best.
If you like The Idiot, you should look up/watch Elif Batumans interviews about the book. She is saying things about fiction writing, plot, and creative writing that changed the way I read the genre as a whole. I love her so much💘and would love to hear your thoughts on fiction writing more generally.
you know for some time I have been wanting to record little videos of me, vlog style, talking about my ideas, books, things i like etc . been sitting with this wish for so so long but too intimidated to actually take action. I'm not really a camera person and I struggle with confidence often times. THIS VIDEO is that inspiration for me you just talked about. The way you spoke so fluently and everything resonated with me so well, it really made me feel like "hey, this is something i may be able to do too!" I'm at work right now but when i get home im picking up the camera and recording my first video. Thank you.
omg I AM OBSESSED witjh No Longer Human too! the original novel and the Junji Ito's manga. I haven't read Usamaru's manga yet because the Junji's already took over my life and it was wayy too heavy for me. affected my life deeply tbh but Im really inspired to pick up usamaru's now
