John Peel lecture
This is actuality the first time I've listened to a podacast and now that I have, I already want to listen to some more. It was a really interesting talk from Brian Eno on the creative industry and it aimed to answer two questions:
- Is art a luxury?
- Is there a way where arts can flourish?
Whilst he was talking more about music, it brought up alot of points that included the rest of the creative industry as well. One of the first things he
mentioned was that there is no culture without the creative arts and he made a quote that I didn't really understand until he fully explained what he meant. The quote was "Art is something you don't have to do". What he meant by this is that tasks like eating, walking, working is that we have to do, whilst
creating art is something we choose to do. To further this he said that when we where young, we all used to imagine and create worlds but as we grow up, we become less imaginative and that's where creative arts differ. We don't let go of that creative spark, we use it to address problems in the world. It really opened my eyes on what Creative Arts are and the effects the people creating it can have on others. After listening to this I want to listen to more podcasts so I'm going look out on BBC Radio for more podcast like this one. I've also began listening to podcasts from The Verge on the latest technological trends and what it means for everyone.
