Creative Ecology

The Creative industries is made up of conceptual and practical convergence for the creative arts individual talent with CI, New Media technologies (ICT’s) with new knowledge economy, for the use of newly Interactive Citizen consumers. The creative industry is rapidly changed its course every day from how society can display their work online publicly whether it is a creative or moving image etc. and from this gives us opportunities to exhibit our work in just a brief amount of time, even in seconds because that’s how fast we can now transfer data. Interactivity is a form of communication which has been a main essential part of living in daily life, especially through technology and how much of an impact it has made on us. The use of technology has now brought us to believe that we need it because we use it as our main method of communicating with our family, friends, colleges through text messages, phone calls and social networks and because of that we don’t even know the extent of how much we use these devices. The younger generation are now adapting to this new way of living that even children are wanting the latest form of technology for birthday and Christmas such iPhones, iPad’s and kindle Fires because they aren’t as impressed by each new invention. It’s amazing how this generation of children is completely different from what it used to be compared to whenever I was a child because every gift was simpler and less expensive. So that is why my generation is still being impressed by each new form of technology that is advertised on television and we will continue to be impressed because it will always be a rapidly changing environment. The creative content is a great way to show off your work. The social network has now become an instant hit with displaying work by posting it on news feed along with using personal websites and blogs. This is better way of showing work because there will always be a constant feed of work being displayed every minute and that is a social network of its own because it is global/ world wide so it is viewed by everyone. This proves how much of an impact the hybrid technology use has on us. The factors of the creative content which are music, sounds and visuals, which brings a large impact on the world. It was discussed how the underestimation of technological embedding is such a fundamental challenge to society. Napster had gave the music industry a huge risk of free downloading and has now been underestimated about the open source. Because Apple joined forces with SONY, both companies are charging their customers to download their franchise a.k.a music albums. But their have been many debates judging whether it is practical to buy albums online than just buying one from a store from free downloading songs off the internet. Six factors of the industry are of Globalization being one of the factors from how everyone’s work is now globalized in today’s environment whenever we upload it to websites and blogs, which is what I am doing now. Another factor is of the cultural capital and how the city of Derry in 2013 has the opportunity to show how creative and impressive it can be so the community can be involved. Next, the creative industries and cultural industries are two more factors describing on how they are both continuously expanding more and more. Finally, convergence, connectivity and entrepreneurship are all very important factors that become involved in daily life and that help lead people to what they want in life. During these past weeks of lectures, I have come to discover that my lecturer has taught me very interesting topics and factors about the industry to help guide me to success.

Revolution of Art

Like my previous post, I would like to highlight that we live in a’pixel-lated’ world. A generation that has been broken down bit by bit to reveal for what it has to offer us. Up until the 1960′s, the world that we lived in was dull, boring, and basically black and white with the lack of imagination for ideas. But during the years of the 60′s, that’s whenever a more exciting, creative generation started to develop, and started to burst with ideas of how people visualized a new way to live. Products and music labels which were sponsored by celebrities were mainly sold by the idea of them, and not the music itself. And then, creativity started to set in whenever the record albums develop from a plain, plastic, brown cover to expanding it to 2D – 3D by including colour,images and information or stories about the artist to make it more interesting. Peter Blake (a famous pop designer/artist) would be an example of this from how he used a range of medias, patterns and images to produce prints for music industries and for advertising etc. Image The music business is now considered as a dead industry. The reason for this, is because that there is always going to be a new form of technology or a new artist that will always take over or be better or more inventive than the original. An example for the artist, whether it would be a music artist or a painter, is from how they are idolized not by their music, but by their new trends/ styles, personalities or creativity. Loyal fans would regularly display free albums of singlesof their favourite music artist to show dedication. If you digitalize something thing, then it will be worthless due to it being easily copied. The revolution of the industry started in the 1920′s whenever machinery was transformed into a form of travelling. The second revolution then appeared in the 1960′s whenever the digital technologies began to develop such as DTP – Web. Whenever the ‘Social Network’ started to make its way into the community , it began to construct into something that would be a new way of communication. Sharing ideas, stories and information etc. is now the best way of communicating with people world wide instead of how it used to be by just writing letters or even making a phone call. An example of a social network is the Facebook website, where they make their millions by selling its users to advertisers. This would be called as a selling network. Data is now the 21st century of daily living. This if from the social network and the fact that it needs to be tact or looked upon as an open source which means that its data is free to access. Though copy rights problems are hard to decide on who’s is who’s product? The social network takes bits and atoms and then combines it into reality. There is a video called ‘Will it blend?’ which is an example of something that is advertised but it isn’t obvious about the product itself or other selling items based on how certain people or celebrities who use it. This is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg1ckCkm8YI Chris Anderson had a published an article called ‘In the Next Industrial Revolution’ in the computer science magazine called ‘Wired’ which talks about the factors of the industry and science and how it has developed. Chris Anderson also quotes ‘ multiply your scales by 2.6.’. Finally the third and fourth revolution is about the ’3D’ generation of movement. The third is about the making of the new 3D printer and how it has been production process of it being suitable to have in public homes for everybody to make use of it. Eventually this new technique of printing will be affordable for everyone’s use. The 4th revolution is the basic concept of realizing the new world that is developing around us and that the possibility of a new generation of technology is forming into more creative techniques of living.
