cN Manifesto

For Creatives
Unfortunately the value and the visibility of your work often get conflated.
A co-sign has been a timeless virtue in creative industries, but that has shifted into algorithmic surfacing.

I want to feed into the collective delusion that your work should be seen by certain people, because it can be. The algorithm is an obstacle, and you should seek to bypass it as much as possible.

The creative people around you are desperate to talk to you
They’re working on something and they need feedback right now
They are writing and just need someone to read it back to them.

That is where Creative Network comes in. The ~~free and open source~~ project seeks to connect creative people of all discipline to each other.

Add yourself as a node, let the system discover your work, and find potential collaborators.

For Tastemakers
Traditional media discovery platforms for contemporary media flatten all work into the visual realm. Often, context is completely lost. But in the modern landscape, context might be all that an artist has.

For the first time, you'll be able to effectively browse between an image, a campaign, a song all while staying informed on larger cultural trends, the people behind the works, and maintaining a deeply integrated maintaining a deeply integrated understanding of how creative work connects in the broader cultural landscape.

I hope this enables media enthusiasts to build affinity for less familiar scenes, while still maintaining artistic integrity and a deeper understanding for the worlds these works live within.

Not everyone needs a map all the time, but I hope having a map at your disposal proves to be useful.
