I love to use art, mostly music to promote my ideas and concept. The internet is also a big part of that, facebook, twitter, youtube, etc. This blog, happenings like Pecha Kucha nights enrich our world and allow new ideas to emerge. People, individuals can have a much more profound effect on the world. Right on, music and art forms have been a big inspiration for me.

I definitely agree that creative people will invent the new models. And tough times often provoke fresh ways of thinking, so art does become something that both inspires and supports people.

Parker Sat, 31 Oct 2009 16:16:45 +0000 http://dev.cherihanson.com/?p=257#comment-4 Hi - I love your attitude in starting this blog and getting ideas going. It's clear that as structures and ways of living that people had come to count on (big companies providing lifetime job security being the most obvious example) have crumbled, rebuilding will have to happen somehow - and that creative people are going to be the ones to invent new models. Even if those models are intensely personal and may start out as idiosyncratic "custom" models, at the very least they show other people what can be done, what can happen. And things can roll out from there. It's also a time when so many people have to deal with so much unhappiness and despair that the power of things like music (I grew up on the Smiths, and more than once have relied on Marr's soaring guitars for a lift) and other art forms comes to the fore. For those who argue that art can't change the world - perhaps not, but for sure art can help support the hearts and minds of those who will.
