Updating Philosophies

Process is fascinating. There is an art to the way that things are made. Oftentimes we find ourselves so enraptured by a work of art that a form of mysticism envelops the creator. In our society this has become something worth idolizing, something artists feel the need to aspire to. Well, we’re not interested in myth. We’re interested in people. In actual people who have incredible talents and the hard work they put in to achieve their results. Often this secretive artistic path is put on a pedestal. We would like to offer something different to admire: the realistic struggle through which people can create great things. Expression is difficult. It is of our belief that true greatness comes from vulnerability. The honesty that lies within the creative process provides us with empowering perspectives. To know the challenges faced by an artist and the fortitude needed to overcome them is to celebrate the human spirit. Cern is an artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York. His ideas are expressed in many artistic forms, including murals, which can be found in major cities all over the world. www.cernesto.com Twitter: @cernymi Instagram: @cernesto Production Company: Navigate (www.wenavigate.com) Director/Editor: Jared Levy Director of Photography: Justin Hamilton Executive Producers: Jared Levy & Justin Hamilton Additional Cinematography: Jared Levy Sound Mix: Cary Daniels Color Grade: Nice Shoes (www.niceshoes.com) Colorist: Phil Choe Production Assistance: Julian Walter & James Daniel BTS Photos: Julian Walter (www.julianwalter.com) Music Dwell (Snowfall Remix) -Tony Anderson Visitors on the Bow Wave - The Echelon Effect Processed Spirits - Lymbyc Systym Tekapo - Salomon Ligthelm All music provided by The Music Bed
