How is social media impacting you? [art juice 204]
Denise Gasser recorded a powerful Instagram reel about how social media impacts artists. Now she joins Alice to discuss her ideas further. Is social media affecting the way art is made? Does our own need for validation lead us away from making our truest work?
Alice and Denise then go on to discuss whether social media is really to blame. Or is it comparison, insecurity, envy, lack of self worth that are the culprits? Social media will challenge our resolve in these areas, but ultimately isn’t it up to us to manage our own experience and create healthy patterns? Can we use social media as a tool for our benefit rather than as a weapon of self destruction?
