Technology Is My Creativity

A big part of discussion the other day was the idea that technology is killing creativity. I agree but at the same time have troubles coming to grip with it. My best work comes from when I write while listening to my iPod, vocalized emotion I call it. Not just that but video games have become an art form, you don’t just win the game but you learn something, there’s a story behind them.

I agree some kids these days have no creativity because of technology. They’ve become dependent on others telling the stories for them. For those of us who already know what creativity is and where it comes from our job is easier and, I believe, enhanced by these technological resources we are provided.

My act of creativity this week was playing a video game, Halo: ODST. It’s developed past a shoot-em-up. There’s emotion in here, playing it itself may not be creative because you have restriction but what you can then do with what you’ve played is. I took screenshots. I flew around as an omniscient camera and looked for images that could convince people their is artistic value in video games. I like the results, I hope you do to.

Creeping at night.

Troubled skies, a storm is brewing.
