Love this clear explanation of what it would look like to give an accurate representation of companies' activities. Companies always say that they just produce what consumers want. If consumers and shareholders saw images of what's really happening instead of misleading stock photos, they could demand change - ie, they could create a market for something different, in which case industrial healing could become possible or even profitable. If consumers and shareholders didn't demand change after seeing true images, then companies could continue as they are without all the time and energy spent obfuscating the truth. Telling the truth is a win win situation - it just takes someone bold to step up and do it. I love the path you are showing about how to proceed.
Thank you, Sarah! Let's see if there is a company out there who is ready. Perhaps there are many and I just know about them...? I would love to see more!
As an independent artist, I am often dismayed by the seemingly alternate realities of artists and , well the other world. I find it amazing how you straddle both so elegantly and creatively Lorraine!
Thank you! I often think about how funny it is, the adage “art imitates life...”. It’s like, um, actually no, much of so-called “art” IS actual real life. It’s the crazy messed up stuff that passes for viable economic activity? That is the imitator in our midst.
"Very often, all the activity of the human mind is directed not in revealing the truth, but in hiding the truth (Leo Tolstoy)"... and B.Lorraine Smith!
..and I love your request to know examples where a company’s visuals are helping see the true picture and inform decisions. Please tell me, you have had responses!
Thanks, Penny! So far crickets on the example request but I just *know* someone will swoop in with a great example. One day. Eventually. Hopefully here where everyone can see. :-)
