It's always been most important for me to figure out "my space" rather than trying to check out what everyone else is up to, minute by minute. Technology is making it easier to connect to other people, but maybe harder to keep connected to yourself-- and that's essential for any artist, I think.

Jamaica Plain is a very diverse community. There are families as well as yuppies, artist types and students.

There was never any effort made out there to improve the artist.

I don't know that the studios will see major income from this at first, as it takes about 90 minutes to download and it's unclear whether people currently have the ability to do that, but it's a good beginning.
