M.I.A. 'unveiled' her album art in .jpg format for the internet to blog about. The 'album art' release is an important step in the album cycle, because it can give your album an 'extra' newsbit if your band is relevant enough.

Not sure what the concept behind her album art is. Maybe it is some sort of statement about youtube, and how we are connected to the internet. Maybe like 'streaming video: we are just waiting 4 our lives 2 buffer.' Sorta confusing. Like a hyper reality where moments no longer exist for themselves', perhaps they only exist to 'go viral' and rack up millions of views on youtube.

Probably has no concept behind it. Much like M.I.A., her album is probably just supposed to 'get attention' even if the message is hollow. I guess it's chill. Sorta just like some1 getting blazed, then opening up photoshop, google image searching for some pix, and making 'art.' Wonder if vibes like this hurt photoshop as a creative tool, or if there will be a 'revival' of 'tactile art' since photoshop is sorta being used for 'doodling purposes.' Not sure if there is an official word for a 'photoshop doodle.'

Have yall ever 'got blazed' and made some sort of trivial art, then showed it off to people, then sorta saw their faces look at you like you were in 'special ed' and just did some finger painting?
