I absolutely enjoyed today’s visit and Markus’s talk. I loved how he’s so passionate about his work and how he constantly highlighted the importance of being driven. He also emphasized the need to put in the extra effort so that one could stand out among their peers. I was also fascinated by the idea of using perfumes as an inspiration to make music, that’s a pretty good example of thinking outside the box and not limiting oneself to the constraints of the convention.
However, there were a few things I don’t quite agree with. Firstly, he talked about how our goals should be clearly defined and set beforehand. Just yesterday, Kermit discussed the idea of not knowing the destination when starting the journey and figuring everything out on the go. I think when it comes to art especially, this is how it should generally work. Also, I believe that the distinction between artists and content creators was too sharp. I think that artists are types of content creators too, just with more creative freedom. (See diagram below)
