PressPausePlay The Digital Revolution and the Changing Creative Landscape

CNBC (Television network) (Added Author). Films for the Humanities & Sciences (Firm) (Added Author). Films Media Group (Added Author).

Summary: The digital revolution has nourished creativity in an unprecedented way and has made available unlimited creative opportunities. But does democratized creative expression mean better art, film, music, and literature, or is true talent drowned in the digital ocean of uncurated mass mediocrity? That is the question addressed in this intriguing film by influential creatives and visionaries of the digital era. Musician/DJ Moby, best-selling author Seth Godin, music journalists Brenda Walker and Christopher Weingarten, filmmaker Lena Dunham, singer/songwriter Lykke Li, author/speaker Andrew Keen, tech entrepreneur Sean Parker, indie band Hot Chip, and many others speak with passion and candor about the digitization of culture as it has evolved thus far-and whether the trend is toward an ever-expanding galaxy of diamonds or a vast expanse of garbage.
