Why Being an Artist is Better than Being a Good Techie

How will technology change how you do things? Here is Picasso turning his back to his painting and painting with light…

In 1949 Picasso was visited by Gjon Mili, a photographer who turned time lapse photos into art. The moment Picasso saw the photos he was inspired and, without hesitation, he picked up a light and asked Gjon to take photos of him as he ‘painted’ in the air.

The photos were published in Life magazine and became a sensation. From that day Picasso changed from the painting style he is known for to larger public works and sculptures using steel and technology not in existence just decades earlier.

If you’re concerned about the rapid change in technology, and how it may affect your job, your business, or your career – the answer is not in becoming a better techie, but becoming a better artist.

Being an artist is about being in touch with your unique self expression. The moment new technology appears, as Picasso showed, it simply becomes a new way to express yourself.

So honour the artist within you, and make your month a masterpiece.
