There is often little transparency in the value chain: who earns what, how platforms are paid and how much returns to the artist. Economies still tend to reward product more than process and spectacle more than depth.

Depression, doubt, apathy and lack of motivation are real. Doom scrolling and comparison on social media can drain energy and make people feel uninspired or displaced in their own lives.

As a result, people doubt their own creative abilities, feel they are not creative types or fear failure and judgment when they try something new.

There is a tension between meaningful art and content produced to feed platforms. People ask where the real value is and what role the past and cultural lineage still play.

In a flood of AI generated pieces, it becomes difficult to discover work that is genuinely creative, rooted in lived experience and not only in training data. The definition of art and authorship is under stress.

There is little clarity about how creative work is used, who gets paid and how to defend style, voice and trademarks in a world where copying is easy and boundaries between reference and exploitation are blurred.

At the same time, digital infrastructures and AI use energy, water and materials at large scale. Without responsible design, creativity can produce waste, pollution and art that takes space physically and digitally without giving much back.

In this environment, truly original, subtle or slow creative work can be hard to find. It risks being buried under repetition, trends and automated output.

Many decision makers still think in old categories like patriarchy versus matriarchy instead of imagining more fluid, inclusive models of power that support diverse creative futures.

Curatorial monopolies and closed networks can limit access for new voices. There is a need for open calls, transparent processes and environments where people can experiment together without fear.

Clear guidance, education and ethical standards on how to work with AI can reduce fear and confusion. The goal is to treat AI as a flexible assistant and co creator, while humans remain authors and carriers of responsibility.

This includes recycling materials, turning trash into art, reusing and transforming sculptures and thinking in cycles instead of one way production. Even space art and materials harvested from space can be guided by natural law and ecological awareness.

Creativity can be strengthened by going back to roots, by spending more time in the present moment and by playful, childlike exploration. Switching off social media from time to time opens space for stillness, which allows ideas to connect below the surface.

This can include open calls, transparent proposal systems and economies where value comes from the creative process itself, not only from finished products. Confidence in self and in peers becomes a central resource.

Fairer remuneration, transparent value chains and protection of intellectual property can make creative careers more stable and allow people to take risks again.

Technology can support this through interactive installations and responsive environments, but the starting point is the human body and the human need for connection and play.

Creativity grows when people step out of familiar routines, meet other ways of living and allow themselves to be changed by what they encounter.

This helps keep the center of gravity inside the person and the community. Tools stay in service of human creativity instead of becoming the main stage.

Guidance on ethics, copyright, regulation and responsible use of technology can protect creative freedom and give people tools to navigate the new landscape with more clarity and confidence.

This includes questioning old power patterns and making room for perspectives that were historically pushed aside, while staying grounded in respect and care.
