Will social interaction and networking really make the web different? Thanks for your thoughts on this!

]]> Comment on Great Talent, Overdone Style by Apollo http://cvioletterun.com/blog/2007/08/22/great-talent-overdone-style/#comment-47 Apollo Mon, 17 Dec 2007 22:02:03 +0000 http://cvioletterun.com/blog/2007/08/22/great-talent-overdone-style/#comment-47 Haha, I've thought the same as well. Granted it is a style on to itself, and as such there will always be impersonators; I agree that a piece of work should have only what it needs. I like minimalism, but I prefer work that is very busy as long as the elements tie into each other in some way. What this style came from is a reaction against people like Rand. The same happened with typography, creating the Grunge style. Modernist graphic style is very clean, logical, planned, and looks great. What happened is during the counter-culture movements there was a reaction against it towards anarchy, with organic and emotional flow. I'm sure you've see it too, from other works, like Pollock, where the "feeling" and "idea" is more important than the result even if it looks like crap. I love counter-culture because it explores things not as openly considered before it came about, even if it has become a cultural commodity in our generation. What I really respect is an artist that can combine the free flow and organic feel of grunge with the planning and balance of modernist style. Cheers, Apollo Haha, I’ve thought the same as well.

The 80s are now "retro" (dear God, I'm retro...) - see the appearance of Hello Kitty and Care Bears in the stores so teeny boppers can wear them like they know who and what those characters are. I remember reading something about the reoccurence of names: 10 years after an era of the popularity of certain names, the names become "uncool"; 20 years, they become "old fashioned" - or retro, I guess; 50 years, they become "what were they thinking?"; 100 years, they become "romantic" and back in style. This is paraphrased horribly, but you get the idea. As you said, the good news is that the 80s have returned without the harsh edge - retro usually happens that way; see how the 70s returned in the 90s but without the overt and ugly use of white - it became off-white to soften the effect. Just my little ideas on the subject... Edit Yes, but everything comes back into “style” (and, yes, I use that word with some sarcasm) about 20 years after it was originally big.
