The Social Media Renaissance The Social Media Equation Accessibility For both content providers and users Free or low-cost ways to do everything: publish words, art, music, photography, etc. Accountability New avenues for ownership or collaboration Even “Giving it away” (i.e. creative commons) presupposes ownership Transparency Free exchange of ideas Small percent of exchanges are anonymous/fraudulent Access to information

34. 3 Steps to Being Incredible (as an artist, businessperson, human): Step1: Realize there is always someone more talented than you are at what you do. Step 2: Realize they will not always be as motivated as you are. Step 3: Keep on creating, because tenacity beats talent 99% of the time. Bonus Step: No man is an island: collaborate. “Simply put, teams of people can do more together, better, than any individual can do alone…” Chris Hueur, for SocialMediaClub.org

If you forget this password, don’t lose sweat, a new password can easily be arranged for and most take only a few days to a week to administer.“I attribute much of the maturation of the digital arts to bandwidth and resolution.

My argument for this equation is that you cannot have accessibility, the main thrust and purpose of social media, without accountability and transparency.
The YouTube Orchestra is notable for so many reasons: again, the democratization and accessibility themes – AND one I don’t know if many people realized – changing the rehearsal process for every group of large performing arts bodies: choirs, orchestras, and even dancers!

This is a digital media version of the exquisite corpse.” The technique was invented by Surrealists and is similar to an old parlour game called Consequences in which players write in turn on a sheet of paper, fold it to conceal part of the writing, and then pass it to the next player for a further contribution. Surrealism principal founder André Breton reported that it started in fun, but became playful and eventually enriching. Breton said the diversion started about 1925, but Pierre Reverdy wrote that it started much earlier, at least before 1918.[1][2]”

Obviously with opera, the end result is a sung/composed performance – but the content and libretto were user-generated.
