Creative Inspiration

I’m actually furious right now about how much useless theory they’re forcing us through at vocational school. It’s all bloated, endless stuff that could be cut by ninety percent and still do its job. The whole point is supposed to be that we’re here learning how to actually make things, how to design, how to test what we can do as artists. That’s not what’s happening.

And somehow we’ve got separate classes for communication, sociology, sports theory—okay, sure—but nothing about modern art, nothing about what’s actually happening in design right now, nothing that connects to what we’re supposed to care about. Tomi, Jenny, and Tobi see it too, but they’ve basically surrendered. Not me. This is what I came here to do, and I’m not going to waste it learning about workplace organization.

So I want to propose something real: a class called Creative Inspiration and Art. Is that too much to ask for, alongside all the required bureaucracy? Yeah, knowing my luck it’ll probably get approved the year after I graduate anyway. Doesn’t matter. I’m class speaker—if I can’t complain about the curriculum, what’s the point? I want to see more work like Eduardo Morais. I want to actually make something while I’m here.

Anyway, I’m going to bed before I turn into a complete megalomaniac. Too much Mezzo Mix and you start believing your own bullshit.
