Can there ever be an online masterpiece?
One of the SXSW sessions I attended today was the Ze Frank session on the ‘creative lifestyle’. I found it a bit pointless, really. It appeared to be a love-in between Frank and a room full of his fans. But it did get me thinking about art and the internet.
The examples of Frank’s work left me unimpressed. I find them whimsical, disposable and inconsequential. I can see how they would provide some moments of entertainment, but this isn’t what I’m interested in. As I get older, I find myself more and more interested in identifying things that I can safely ignore and getting rid of them for good. My goal is to spend an extremely high percentage of my time on what I would like to call masterpieces.
