Book of Notice

“There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted.” -Henri Matisse

Notes

Mediated identity and self-creation of today

“Media Culture is the result of the industrialization of information and culture. Images, sounds and spectacles help produce the fabric of life, dominating leisure time, shaping political views and social behavior, and providing the materials out of which people forge their identities”  -Doug Kellner 

“People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself.  But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates”  ~Thomas Szasz, ‘Personal Conduct,’ The Second Sin, 1973.
