Din thoughts

i felt like throwing something on my blog today for the fun of it.

i've been considering the different aspects of Din this morning. Some ideas brought up in class ascribed emotional value to this concept but there is more causing noise in this world than that. There are movements, fashion, living conditions to consider

"Din Apparel"
featuring works about plastic chains hanging from hips; mohawks and ponytails; prison stripe polos and torn panty-hose fashions

"The Colloquial Din" or "Din Vibrations"
playing the middle man and connecting all sides of the/an arguement


"Din living" or "The Din Den"
with a focus on family life, living conditions in the current age.


"Forest Din"
Nature

"A quiet Din"
serenity

"Political Din"
and Satan

the purpose of saying this isn't really to ask which one anyone wants to work with but to try relieving a little stress at the idea of trying to find a connecting factor for our pod rather to say that we have a versatile subject to work with here and that whatever we as a group decide is our interest/focus/concept (whatever) we will always have the ambiguity of language to back us.

Manifesto

My imaginary journal called The Unworldly Artist includes both visual and textual artworks with a focus on abstract and surreal works investigating or responding to the vast explosion of sub-cultures and materialism branching specifically across the United States.

I am interested in asking two questions "what if anything are our cultural norms in today's society" and "why do we need all this shit anyway"

This journal is interested in artists of all levels of experience but most specifically artists whose forms reach past the standard and known means of expression.
