Haikus are awesome!
Just for fun, write a haiku!
They traditionally are in syllable breaks of 5-7-5.

I’ve been thinking a lot about distortion lately, and the glitch movement. I very much enjoy glitch pop music, and I’ve noticed that although the artist will maximize digital quality, there commonly exists an atmosphere of low fidelity. Poor quality in music is fundamentally different when comparing analog and digital. The existence of noise and feedback have become a staple for lo-fi and glitch pop, amongst other movements.
Does glitch art necessarily have to exist in the realm of digital creation? We see works such as deformed furniture openly celebrated. However, we are celebrating an analog imitation of a digital deformity. If I caused my printer to paper-jam and mangle my print, it is an entirely new aspect of distortion. Should it be encouraged or is it a flaw that we shame?
Discussion Corner: The Necessity of Art?
With the aid of modern-age technology, our collective society has never been more interconnected than it is today. From the rapid expansion of the “world wide web”, to the invention of the PNG and MP3 file formats, the advances of the past few decades have allowed cultures not only the mean to express and practice their art in new ways, but also the capability to share this art across borders and time-zones in the blink of an eye. Though the average “quality” can be debated, it can be said that some regions are even saturated with art exposure and creation. Yet the question remains, “is art necessary?”
From an objective standpoint, one can argue that if you give a person enough food, water, and shelter, they will live out their longevity without dying from “artistic withdrawal.” However, even Maslow’s hierarchy of needs model includes artistic and creative endeavours as a valid construct of the self-actualization tier. Can something such as art be entirely unnecessary to a society, and yet maintain such strong influence over it? If art is a valid human necessity, how can its value and worth vary from person to person, and even more curious, can this value even be measured at all?

The Art of Michael Chase
It looks like (possibly) one of my favorite artists on Tumblr may be going on or already be on an indefinite hiatus. As much as I hope this isn’t the case, I think this news offers the perfect opportunity to highlight his work to my small group of followers. Go show your support and wish him luck in his future artistic endeavours!
