Communities Dominate Brands thinks the alphabet as masculine whereas, the web is feminine. In a way, I can go along with that because alot of my Web Analytics is informed by intuition and I'm an artist. To me, I can accept that the web requires a lot of non-linear thinking and activity. And the movie, below, tells a story about how much and how fast things are changing.
BTW, this video was making the rounds last weekend and has had over 800,000 views so far, but I had not thought about it in terms of masculine and feminine.
Looks like I need to pick up a copy of Art & Physics especially as Leonard Shlain talks about the "visionary artist" as the "…first member of a culture to see the world in a new way." I suppose you can put artists like Alex Gray into that category - put personally, I'd put myself there - as visionary is not about "visionary style" but about "seeing".
"…Throughout, Shlain juxtaposes the specific art works of famous artists alongside the world-changing ideas of great thinkers. Giotto and Galileo, da Vinci and Newton, Picasso and Einstein, Duchamp and Bohr, Matisse and Heisenberg, and Monet and Minkowski are just a few of the provocative pairings. "
I'm glad I got a copy of Communities Dominate Brands for a review on SmartMobs.com which I did late last year. I now keep an eye on the writings of Tomi T. Ahonen and Alan Moore.
