Does creativity really matter anymore? With Danie Berger (EP 89)

Описание: Is creativity the same as curiosity?

In this episode of Creative Culture, I'm joined by Danie Berger, from‪@diyinprogress‬. We talked a lot about how social media is fundamentally changing art and creativity. It's no longer enough JUST to make art...you have to show the process. And then make that process crazy enough that people will watch. We talked about dealing with creative funks, and finding joy in authentic expression.

Main Takeaways:

Challenges of Content Creation: We discuss the difficulty of maintaining authenticity while producing content for various social media platforms. Danie emphasizes the importance of loving both the creative process and the content production to avoid burnout.

Creative Funks and Burnout: The difference between creative funks and burnout.

Authenticity in Art: Danie shares her views on what it means to be authentic in the digital age, emphasizing the value of showing the unpolished, messy side of creativity. She believes authenticity is about being true to oneself and not just presenting a polished version for social media.

Personal Passion: Is it possible to stay passionate about something that you turn into a career?

The Role of Social Media: We discussed how social media has changed the way art is fundamentally created, making it more accessible but also more challenging to maintain integrity of creative work.

Personal Projects and Authenticity: We both share our experiences with personal projects that we don't necessarily share with a wide audience. These projects help us stay grounded and remind us of the joy of creating for the sake of creation, not just for content.
