Creativity and New Media

I use open source images, song lyrics, TV quotes, and free to download fonts to create textual images. I always make sure to add a source for the text, and only use open source images even though I am not using my art for any commercial use. I think it is very cool that one can create using open source images and free fonts. It removes certain limits that may have been in place before. It is basically creating artwork with no cost for supplies.

Creativity

New media fosters creativity in that it creates a place where people can freely share their new creations. In addition, as seen in the article 1+1+1=1: The New Math of Mashup by Sasha Frere-Jones, new media and new platforms give people a place to collect tools and media to create new and different things. The article speaks specifically to music mashups, however, the same can be said for still and moving images. There is a treasure trove of open source images that can be used by artists.  https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2005/01/10/1-1-1-1

In addition, twitter conversations need to be in short 140-character bursts which is not necessarily how conversations flow naturally. In this way it differs from a blackboard conversation as well.
