1. O'Reilly talks of style. There are two different kinds: the kind of style that is expressing who you really are by how you do things and show things, and surface style where you are trying to be unique. He mentions that surface style is used in music videos and such, in reality, I personally feel that "surface style" is just another way of saying fad. Style in general is a fad, trying to be different and "out of this world" is fad. Does anyone agree with me? I feel that our media now is following the role of "surface style" which is repetitive, and boring. But isn't all "style" now in someway "surface style"?
2. O'Reilly states that we should not worry about the superficial side of our art work and only focus on the coherence. I 100% agree, but personally, I judge my art work superficially to my standards. As I'm sure so many others do. I may be going too deep into this, but that last sentence just really made me want to dig deeper, and analyze how it is a bit contradicting in some ways. Not all of course.
