“Art expresses and distills aspects of the artist’s consciousness in a durable form that remains accessible even after the artist is gone. A work of art is, therefore, in some sense, 'un essai d’immortalité' — an attempt at immortality.” -Jason Schneider  Jason Schneider is a true modern-day Renaissance man with passions that include photography, motorcycles, poetry, music, and philosophy. A self-admitted life-long Leica maniac, Jason is also a camera collector, fine art photographer, writer, and photojournalist. Jason has written three books on camera collecting and an authoritative volume on woodburning stoves. He is currently writing a book with the working title “Understanding Emily Dickinson: A Reader’s Guide To The Enlightened Master.” Jason has built a long and prosperous career as a photographic journalist where he’s held numerous prestigious positions. He is perhaps best known as the writer and editor who created The Camera Collector column and rose through the ranks at Modern Photography magazine to become its Editorial Director. After leaving Modern, he became the Editor-in-Chief of Popular Photography, the world’s largest imaging magazine, a position he held for over 15 years. Currently, Jason is a contributing writer for the Rangefinder Forum in addition to Creativity Squared. In this thought-provoking episode, Jason expands on the articles he’s written for Creativity Squared exploring A.I. and the question ‘What is art?’ You’ll also hear Jason’s perspective on human consciousness, art as representation, and the limitations of language and math. You won’t want to miss why Jason is in awe of Emily Dickinson and hearing a few poems he recites, including one from his late and talented daughter Heidi.  Jason also points out what’s wrong with the premise of Descartes’s famous statement, “I think, therefore I am” and why cell phones are the best cameras ever made!
