DISCUSSION: GENRE AGNOSTICISM

We live in a time where genre formalism has given way to genre agnosticism, with infinite references and recombinations possible. A contrail of metadata follows every creative decision as artists glide through archives and algorithms, clubs and community, and navigate the increasingly smudged realms of digital interaction and AI co-creation. So where do artists find inspiration, what filtration processes allocate value while preventing overstimulation, and how do they fold this multiplicity of sounds into their work? This conversation with gyrofield, Kara-Lis Coverdale and Simo Cell, moderated by RA’s Gabriel Szatan, traces the webs that shape artistic vision in our brain-scrambling present moment.
