What did you create? Creator? Why fluster existence with a wink of the eye? Purpose? Purpose to anything? We are tools for the greater picture- a step in the process, a feeling of progress, a flow of the past, present, future. Always in one place, everything else is shifting; the personal world revolves around you!
What are your ideas? Where do they come from? How did they get here? The past revolves around you. Your past is who you are at this point of the timeline. You’re a sum of the products before you, the entire range! Evolution, society, history; everything is a process and we are stuck in the middle of it.
You can’t completely own an idea because your idea was partially created by what inspired you to create it. An idea is a portal back to the whole. Like lightening, an idea needs two points of connection: the individual and the world. The exchange of energy creates magnetic fields that direct the process.
The first four letters of freedom is free. If our country is truly free we will abolish on copyright the things that massage our senses. It is apparent through studying history that the highest values of a culture are most strongly reflected through its artistic expression, limiting this expression seems anti-human. An artist can’t control individual’s interpretations of their own art, why should they limit to what others can do with it. It is completely necessary in evolution that we are able to use images and video in the most productive way possible to assure proper communications and reflections of the whole. I believe that it is more useful for images to be available for use than not for use. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words and images will never hurt me, or should I say society.
A bird doesn’t completely choose the song it sings. While it’s temperament affects the things it says, and in many ways there seems to be an internal independent energy that wants to say them, it still falls down to the result of a long math equation of circumstances. Even down to the evolution of the species vocal chords and its need to mate to survive. Birds songs help bring birds together all feeling spring from events beyond those feelings. Nerveless, the sound of the birdsong is what it is at that particular moment, and the bird can sing its song loudly and proudly. Sure, the bird “made the sound up”. But it doesn’t own it. I know birds aren’t trying to buy and sell their songs, but I think most of us agree that the sound is nature, and excuse me (or don’t) for sounding Native American but something seems wrong / disrespectful about buying and selling nature. Art, photography, the Molotov man, and anything you’ve ever experience from your first and last breath to the blog on this page is in some way nature and its only in the greatest advantage of man to share and harmonize with this great gift as much as possible.
We live in a time where the public is beginning to realize that technology is fundamentally changing the manner that we receive information. I think it is wrong to blatantly resell a persons work as your own, but I do not see any problem in using someone else’s finished product as a piece of your own. The world is a collage as it is. Art makes people happy, I wish money didn’t make people feel greedy or angry.
Below I posted a video below from the “future” that talks about Prometheus, a revolution released by Google (in the future). By this time of the future, scientist have found ways to digitally replicate the five senses. Logging on to the web is like logging onto your dream reality, a realistic web of reality we can all live in. Everyone’s thoughts generate the reality. Copyright becomes illegal. The desire to own is directly opposite to the desire to share. Artist who truly wish their art to resonate will let it travel among the information highway wherever it is meant to go. They will trust in their audience and in humanity to do what is right with their creation. They will understand that they are a step in a process. All that helped them create from the past helped shape the present, which in turn goes on to shape the future.
If God's a dude in the sky with a white beard we'd all getting hit for plagiarism. Fortunately God doesn't seem to mind. (does that make it ungodly to?)
