Conversation
This popped up in a conversation with my digital art teacher Miguel Novelo when we discussed what art is and the journey of transitioning the display of art pieces from an internet space to a physical gallery. We must put ourselves out there to be discovered, commented on, and understood. Thanks to Miguel Novelo for sharing this with us.
This reminds me of the video: First Follower: Leadership Lessons from Dancing Guy. Another related but different perspective I noted is from Kevin Kelly's: 103 Bits of Advice I Wish I Had Known: "When you lead, your real job is to create more leaders, not more followers."
