Art is extinct ....now it's just a word in the encyclopedia of technology.

Art is extinct ....now it's just a word in the encyclopedia of technology.

1) AUDIO : When we create music the biggest process that makes it enjoyable is mixing ..... you just can't believe what rocket science and fuss it is to have your audio right ....people who are not from this field can't even imagine what detailing goes into making your sound right , music professionals make and mix songs with an accuracy of making a micro chip , with perfect studio monitors ,studios and several reference plugins and equipments , it takes them a life time to tame frequencies and reflection of sound and width of sound and bass and highs and stereo field of sound and phase of sound and level and loudness of sound and they monitor it at various levels in various environments , on various sound sources ......for days sometimes after innumerable corrections and edits .....NOT TO BE HEARD ON MOBILE SPEAKERS...... most mobile phones have one or mono speaker unless you put your earplugs,even if some company claims they have stereo speakers they are so close on the device that they make the stereo effect negligible ....music since the invent of stereo sound is supposed to create magical effects with the help of stereo sound by having separate sounds in left and right speakers or widening the sound or making the sound travel and we have again gone back before 1965-67 when stereo was introduced in India by listening to music which has mono effect, all of you who listen to music on mobiles don't even come to know or experience the illusion and interest that is created in each and every song with immense precision by placing the sound in separate channels ...... after the shooting is over sound engineers place and move sound in dolby according to the movement in the scene and painstakingly distribute them in as many as 128 places or channels as in the new Dolby atmos ....not even imagining that the sound that is supposed to come out of so many speakers in a theatre or in 5 or 7 speakers even in your home theatre would be coming out of one or two in your laptops ipads and phones. All the pain taken seems so useless when people you are doing it for do not even understand the difference.....or don't have means or inclination to experience it .....

2) VIDEO : We are using the most expensive lenses , cameras and equipment to give people the feel of clarity , depth and sharpness......it gives film makers a nightmare to assure what would be visible and distinct and they work on every detail in the film be it a property hanging on the wall behind actors some 20 feet away .... special effects people work on how much the sunlight should be in the scene or remove a small tv antenna seen in the shot or colour correct the horizon in the background or add a bird or two flying in the sky in some scene not to ever imagine that it would be seen on a mobile screen ......why do dress designers in movie work on every detail of a costume or jewellery or make up guys on a shade when art forms meant for theatre are enjoyed like aakaashwani radio dramas....

3) ART as ART IS NO MORE SALEABLE : Art ....if you still want to call it that has to be a saleable gimmick now......Youtube is a myth..... anything that goes viral is just an attention seeking jugaad or something interesting by fluke which was mostly not created as a creation, it has no formula ....not everybody can make adult humour, expensive music videos or pranks......neither can you be sure that every song that your child or watchman or parrot sings recorded with a mobile will go viral.... rest everything sculpture , painting , classical dance or literature is out of our blood , it has negligible viewers in comparison and we are not seeking them either ..... so although a painter does compile his work in a video and puts it on Youtube but unless you have millions of views repeatedly you can never have Youtube as a viable source of income ....not many know that even after lakhs lakhs of viewers you don't even get a single penny ..... it has to have millions of views , which are even bought openly now a days but thats a different matter how many want to fool themselves too besides viewers.Every song and every film is available on the net sooner or later , so we have no shops of legal audio video in towns any more as companies have stopped production of CDs and DVD's , they have starting claiming they are releasing it online because they know , even a kid now can make uncountable DVD's from one DVD at home.... no point .....so now one just cannot think of selling his art form and survive ,those who painted calendars or taught music or performed puppet or magic shows will have to shut shops forget about being popular ....... who will buy a painting for their wall if lakhs are available for free on the net ? Some sites did behave as agents claiming they can sell your work , by charging a fees , later did you realise that they are asking you for your own social networking to spread it and putting it everywhere , you yourself could have put ......Even videos on how to earn on Youtube are being made for more clicks for their own income ..... and the same person after some days makes a video , claiming he has new set of tips as old ones don't work anymore.....

4) ORIGINALITY : Now the biggest challenge is you never know whom to give credit for something, the creator or the compiler ..... if a shot looks good on screen no guarantee the film maker has himself shot it .....if an audio rhythm loop sounds good no guarantee it has been played .....for every original creator it's a foolish process to sit for hours creating something absolutely by himself when everybody else is churning out creations in which nothing is made by them they are just compiling pre made professional audio video and elements in various degrees to create something new , innumerable singers have become celebrities on Youtube by singing the songs of other singers, call it feat , version or remix .....we love them for something they did not create .....they copied it openly and shot a video on themselves so that when they put the name of the original singer or film in their video , they trick more viewers into their video who are searching for the original so basically it is like a creeper surviving on the original tree and the original tree gets sucked off its resources....

5) VIRAL FUNDA : Artists are god sent .....they make what they like , it is supposed to be self expression ......but now creators, I can't even call them artists ..... look around .....what is working ? and then worse copies of things going viral get created..... It's art now to find out what people are clicking on , so it's not what you want to create it's all about finding misleading or malicious or fake or weird ways to just make people click on your video .....and if those clicks are more ....it is an acknowledged video ......how many views ? what do you mean by that ? anybody can view anything .....if cow dung is lying on the road lakhs will watch it , that doesn't make it is a piece of cake ...... how does views matter, those who have clicked on your work because of an attention grabbing claim or content will click on it without even knowing your name so then how have you become popular ,they have just clicked on it , not fallen in love with you, don't fool yourself .....

6) WE HAVE NO CHOICE OF OUR OWN NOW : We are always clicking on shared links , we just watch what people are asking us to watch .... we have no mind or taste of our own, we have been forced to forget , Bharatnatyam , oddissi , or folk songs, or interviews of achievers in various other fields besides films and controversies ...... watch DD bharati someday and you will realise there is so much more that we wanted to see which is simple yet engrossing besides all the glitter and noise ......

7) LEARNING AND UPGRADATION LOOP : It is not only with teenagers about mobile phones and laptops.....it's even with artists.....they have fallen in the trap of upgrading themselves ,.... upgradation pushes you in two destructive ways.....one everything that you have mastered or learned with time to apply to your creations becomes incompatible or useless so all the time that you spent in learning and experimenting with one software or machine is made useless by the discontinuity of the existing operating and support system forcing you to upgrade,....which means more investment and secondly you will again buy or upgrade to something new spend time in upgrading everything else around it and again waste a major portion of your life in learning the new things that you have bought...when being able to learn a software or knowing what all buttons do has nothing to do with creation....People still writing poetry , concepts and plans in note books are always in a better position to use them whenever they want than people with 10 crashed hard disks lying in their shelves like dead bodies.....Technology we feel is enhancing art and other fields , it's a myth, art is stronger , in fact art has to use technology , here technology is dictating the nature, pace and content of artists ...

People are transforming into pirates , hackers , technicians, programmers , attention seekers but artists.
