<\/a><\/p>\nIs DJing art?
\nThis is an old video that I\u2019ve just seen for the first time, but it has made me think about the classification of DJing. I\u2019ve looked up many different definitions but most can be interpreted to show that just about anything can be art. But this is Google\u2019s definition:<\/p>\n
\u201cthe expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.\u201d
\n\u2026which I guess pretty accurately sums up DJs and emcees vibing off of each other to make a creative aural and visual performance right?<\/p>\n
Traditionally, people would just dance to DJs. But the whole performance element is growing all the time, to the point where people stop dancing and start looking instead \u2014 which traditionally is what we do with art. See what I mean? It\u2019s easy to define what we do as art, especially when we bring together raw materials to paint a picture with beats, or hew an audio sculpture with rhymes.<\/p>\n
