This whole Corona virus situation has been strange. This goes without saying. But what’s stranger still and quite disconcerting is the amount of noise in the media coverage surrounding this pandemic and all its present and future consequences. And by noise I mean the nonsensical contradictory information that descends on us all like an avalanche. This avalanche of information pertains to data about not just what the virus is and does and what we as individuals can do about it but even things as simple and trite as what the name of the virus should be. With all this noise aka nonsense, how can anyone ever make any sense of what is going on? How can anyone make sense enough of the present situation to plan for the future? How can we ever be expected to make informed and effective decisions when the information about reality which we are given, bear no resemblance to the reality we are actually living?

What has all this to do with being an artist. What’s an artist to do? To do about it? What???
