Lately I am finding myself *really* struggling to ‘lock in’. I used to have a gut instinct on what to create next. I would occasionally find myself obsessed with some concept and hyper focus on bringing it to reality. Lately I wonder if I’ve lost that instinct. I increasingly struggle to concentrate. I drift from one idea to the next, but before there was this sense that you knew what was worth pursuing and what was a dead end. But with rapidly advancing technology, nothing really seems like a dead end anymore. Much of the curiosity is gone. It is as if the desire for pursuit comes from partly not knowing if something will or will not work out. Then the combination of global instability, rapid advances in AI, having young kids, real time redefinition of the value of art, and a gradual misalignment with the web3 space, the scams, the posturing, lack of authenticity, the informational asymmetry. And to say this delicately, there are also some performative aspects expected that do not align with me and that can be problematic. It all has me wondering has me wondering what is next, what will bring a sense of joy back, where to look for it etc. I am curious if any other artists have/are experiencing this at the moment. How are you / did you get through it?
