Vesperisms S3E3: Historical Rhymes
Why do we often feel like we're living through something that's happened before? How can we deal with our fear of repeating the past? The answer can be found in understanding history's rhymes.
The reasons we recognize these rhymes are:
Human Nature
Fear
Dehumanization & Displaced Blame
We can judge the rhyme by asking:
Is this genuinely rising from the populace or being dictated top down by institutional power?
Does this movement promote nonviolence or violence?
Do the institutions respond to nonviolence with violence in any form?
And we can control our response to historical rhyme by asking:
What is making me anxious and fearful? Where did it come from?
Did it happen to you or to an abstract collective?
Where am I getting the information that is making me feel this way?

Vesperisms S3E2: Manifesting Your Mess
Not to throw shade on digital art forms, but we need to step back and think about why we as artists do what we do, and the importance of making a mess of it.
