I use social media a lot for both browsing and professional reasons. Yes it’s bad for you, but it can be good in many ways. It’s all about moderation and responsible use… both of which I am not good at.
I am a lover of all the branches of creative expression, and throughout my digital travels on the internet, I stumble on some pretty amazing stuff. These IG WOW posts will be accounts that I find on Instagram that are visual deliciousness. Finding new artwork opens up an opportunity to look at my own personal work in different ways. Our work exists in the content of our current world, the time we live in, what came before us and what will eventually come after us.
We take data in, put it through our personal algorithm (experiences, previously seen artwork, relationships, trauma, curiosity, known information, etc), and art comes out. We are each a collage of everything we have experienced. So in a way, as an artist, I feel like part of what makes artwork interesting is the constant evolution of the artists’ lens… and that means… need more input!
Here are a few artists, designers, photographers, or general vibes I think are worth adding to your feed:
