It's new-age impressionism.

- monknomo 3y agoI think the motivation for almost any style is to be cool. Whether you think folks have that motivation organically, or you think this article is trying to manufacture cool, or if the article is just describing something that exists, I'd guess that's the motivation. Were I inclined to question it, I'd wonder how many people think it is cool or are on this trend. Sometimes one or two popular people can make something look popular, when it is really that the people themselves are the popular part.

Old tech is in the sweet spot right now of providing something that is different, difficult to imitate, cheap, anti-consumerist, sparks new kinds of creativity, and giving new life to otherwise trash. I like this trend far more than everyone buying new polaroid cameras because you have to reuse.
- hbn 3y agoWhat's the motivation to paint a picture of a scene in front of you when cameras exist?
- hot_gril 3y agoYou get to decide the brush strokes that way, and physical paint is clearly different from a photo. It's also a relaxing activity.
