DISPOSABLE CONTENT CULTURE: The habit of discarding sounds, images, and words for the sake of limitless consumption.
USED IN A SENTENCE: Disposable content culture is stripping art of its depth, reducing it to short-form, dopamine-inducing clips optimized for superficial metrics.
We scroll, skip, and consume, rarely taking the time to digest meaning. We engage passively, losing connection to our curiosity.
Artists are now diluting their work, catering to an algorithm that disregards context and impact.
As a musician, I question how artists will remain creative in a music industry that no longer prioritizes music, and a culture that no longer discovers outside of the algorithm.
If people won’t come to venues, we’ll bring the venue to them.
We’re transforming sidewalks into open air studios and inviting the public back into the presence of tangible, impossible to miss, living art.
We’re making a live album, recorded entirely on the streets of Brooklyn. An album that asks commuters to pause, listen, feel, and become collaborators.
This project stands in defiance of our disposable content culture. It asks us to stop scrolling and dive into art in a way that supports all of its depth. To be present with sound, story, and connection, and in turn, with ourselves and each other.
For Brooklyn. By Brooklyn.
