I lost my phone!! Nothing new in this day and age but it made me think, and indeed relies, how much the phone means to me. Most of the pictures on this blog have been taken with my phone. I just started to document some of the things (events, gigs, life) that I'd seen. It came a time when I'd got a job that enabled me to see a lot of "art". The term is used loosely to cover events and performances I've experienced.
Many of the groups I've seen and documented wouldn't term them selves as artists. Many of them have fought to be recognised as such and have felt marginalized because of the lack of respect for their craft. There has been a constant lack of recognition for the intellect and creativity of these groups. A constant failure to see how forms such as be bop within jazz have made contemporary classical composition possible is an example ( I know it has been said but I'll point it out again). An example of this debate can be found on the sustained theatre website. Sustained Theatre
Anyway, the phone is lost, all my numbers, contacts and pictures. But what it does mean is an opportunity to start again. Possibly an I phone because I love my macs. May be not because they can be a target (same way I don't have an I pod) and I'd be even more upset about the loss !!
