Enjoy Right Now: The importance of no-camera policies
Вставка

- In 2014, veteran DJ, producer and promoter DVS1 published an article via the online platform XLR8R addressing the growing issue of cell phone overuse in club culture and presented a campaign titled "Enjoy Right Now."
It's 2019, and we're all still addicted to our phones. They're everywhere: on the street, on the train, in cafes and yes, at the club. We've all seen people taking selfies on the dancefloor or endlessly filming a DJ and possibly even wondered what we can do about it. In this presentation, DVS1 will expound on the topic, detailing not only why prevailing phone behavior is uniquely harmful to the party experience, but also addressing the deeper psychological, social and privacy issues.

I went to a no phone dvs1 set last weekend. It was a very nice change, and i quite enjoyed the lack of phones
The issue runs even deeper. When you wanna get a foot in the door as a DJ, promoters, collectives, labels, clubs wanna see your social media portfolio, wanna see videos of you performing in front of big crowds, wanna see reach. If you can't show that they dont give two shits about your quality, skills or capabilities
the problem is everywhere, Kids sporting events, classrooms, driving...etc.etc. Taking videos and pictures is a horrible problem in general now. I can't tell you how many times I've had to sit patiently for 2 to 3 minutes while someone is thumbing through a million pictures and videos to show me one amazing thing. Once I see it, it's something normal that didn't need to be documented AT ALL.
Man spoke facts for 20 mins straight
A year or so I started leaving my phone in the car when I go out. I was inspired by my friend who always did the same. He said the only thing you might want to know is the time. Now I have way more freedom to dance without my phone flopping around. Also on a deeper level when I got tired of dancing and would sit down usually by myself I really came to just appreciate/ sit with the music instead of just going on my phone impulsively. Also, coming from someone with some social anxiety I found its a lot easier to meet people. If you just sit down without being on your phone people will come talk to you.
Such a shame that this has such little views. You fucking rule Zak!
It has so little views because it goes against what the industry is all about now.
Zak has influenced me for the longest time when it comes to being an asrtist showcasing my idea of music to an audience
I find myself quite opinionated on this topic because my phone is a medical device. Dexcom G6 if you're curious. It sure would be nice not having to leave the dance floor and go to a special area so I can look at my phone for 6 seconds to see if my blood sugar is stable or not. I could care less if you wanna sticker my camera's, but the security sleeve or flat out denial of phones is a huge headache for me, and anyone with diabetes who's on a CGM. Or anyone with a smartphone paired medical device for that matter, the dexcom isn't the only one.
Reasonable.
Berlin sets the standards 🎉
