It’s Not All About You

We’re obsessed in this culture with creation myths. The lone genius, the tortured artist, the driven start-up coder: these are just a few of the many glorified stories that we tell. I get it, we like to hear this story. It reinforces our self-self-sufficent image. It sells. Reality is much different but it’s not sexy. No one wants to hear the complicated tale about 100 people pitching in to create something great. Simple stories are easier to digest and they reinforce what we’ve already been trained to believe. Even in fine art, there’s collaboration, or at least influence and history. Nothing is created in a vacuum. Don’t believe the hype.
