Does creativity matter anymore? With Danie Berger (EP 89)

Is creativity the same as curiosity?

In this episode of Creative Culture, I'm joined by Danie Berger, from @DIYDanie. We talked a lot about how social media is fundamentally changing art and creativity. It's no longer enough JUST to make art...you have to show the process. And then make that process crazy enough that people will watch. We talked about dealing with creative funks, and finding joy in authentic expression.

Main Takeaways:

Creative Funks and Burnout: The difference between creative funks and burnout.

Authenticity in Art: Danie shares her views on what it means to be authentic in the digital age, emphasizing the value of showing the unpolished, messy side of creativity. She believes authenticity is about being true to oneself and not just presenting a polished version for social media.

Personal Passion: Is it possible to stay passionate about something that you turn into a career?

The Role of Social Media: Social media has changed the way art is fundamentally created, making it more accessible but also more challenging to maintain integrity of creative work.

Personal Projects and Authenticity: We both share our experiences with personal projects that we don't necessarily share with a wide audience. These projects help us stay grounded and remind us of the joy of creating for the sake of creation, not just for content.

Why are documentaries so popular right now? With Kevin Perjurer of Defunctland (Ep 91)

On this episode of Creative Culture, I chatted with Kevin Perjurer, the creator of Defunctland. If you're a fan of meticulously researched and utterly fascinating documentaries about bygone theme parks and themed entertainment, you'll love this episode. It was interesting to talk to him about being a full-time documentarian, and crafting stories that captivate millions of viewers.

What is the current state of documentaries and why is there such an explosion of them everywhere? Are they getting better or just changing? Kevin and I also talked about the blurred lines between traditional media and YouTube, and what it means to be a creator in today's digital age. Plus, we discuss the nuances of balancing entertainment with historical accuracy, and how Kevin navigates the ever-evolving landscape of content creation.

We also explore some of Kevin's most intriguing projects, including his exploration of the mysterious origins of the Disney Channel theme jingle, Kid Cities, and behind the scenes of the American Idol theme park experience.
