INFLUENCERS TRAILER from R+I creative on Vimeo.

“INFLUENCERS is a short documentary that explores what it means to be an influencer and how trends and creativity become contagious today in music, fashion and entertainment.”

This looks pretty interesting. We at CTG enjoy watching how ideas spread. We like rickrolling people and ‘calling it work’. We like Lady Gaga. We like artists who, like this doccie states, can take an idea that is previously inaccessible and bring it to the mainstream in such a way that people accept it. That is influence, and that is art.

We feel like art used to be about the audience observing it (via Renaissance patron pals), and then it became about the artists making the art (via Picasso being a self-absorbed womanising douche), but now it’s like, the audience and the artist together create the art (via it being Friday, and us being mildly hungover, hence emo, and deep).
