We all like great designed things. Fancy watches, sports cars, bags, clothing, cameras, gadgets, tools, etc.
But this is the problem with modern day capitalism-consumerism:
We think we are artists when we select our own aesthetic tastes by going online or to the mall, and buying things which we think represents us as people, artists, and individuals.
This ain’t good. Why? It limits you. This means your artistry or artistic self expression is limited by the things which already exist out there. But if you truly want to be a creator, innovator, or to push the needle forward … you gotta build it.
