5lights:

I’ll Let You Watch by Star St. Germain

This whole 5Lights experience is actually blowing my mind, both as a participant and an observer. It is hard to articulate (but goddammit will I try) the unique experience of seeing a handful of people spend time with the same theme or idea, and riff off of it. And create original art from it.

Like this song that blows my mind. I feel tied to it somehow, by a humble little creative strand, feeling like all of these things we made are a little vulnerable family that I can’t believe exists.

Anyway, go back to the site and see it all together. Ray Fawkes posted a painting, a fucking painting, people, created for this project. And he was interviewed here about that very thing.

Like I said, this is all very mind-blowing.

Tomorrow, a video.

And next week, it starts again! Same people, new story!

I almost just said Can you dig it? But I never want to say that again, because 1. okay fine, I concede it’s lame, and 2. I don’t want you to think I actually mean digg because that is just, embarassing.

Okay, carry on! But only after you go look at 5Lights again.
