Track and Field î After a strong showing at the Penn Relays last weekend, Oregon track returns to Hayward Field this weekend, this time under the lights for the Oregon Twilight. The sprint-heavy meet will begin at 4 p.m. on Friday with a featured events window beginning at 5:25 p.m. Meanwhile, the decathletes and heptathletes on the squad will be in Los Angeles.

Oregon will be hosting the NCAA championships June 5-8.

Baseball î Oregon baseball’s George Horton and company hit the road again this week with five games in Washington: two midweek games against Seattle and a weekend set against a Washington State team the latter of which has historically given the Ducks fits. Heading into the week, the Ducks were winners of five straight, including a sweep over the Cardinal and a pair of walk-off victories. Oregon and Oregon State are on a crash-course to be ranked No. 1-2 in the Pac-12 when the Beavers come to PK Park on May 17-19. Both also look like likely candidates to host at least one round of postseason baseball. softball î Oregon softball looks to be well on its way back to the Women’s College World Series with just two Pac-12 series left in the season.

I suppose this all might sound edgy and exciting if your parents didn’t let you listen to, like, Common or Lupe Fiasco in grade school, but whatever. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, as Erasmus put it, and in our democratized culture — blinded and stultified by retromania and a lack of curiosity – one-eyed artists like Macklemore and Odd Future and Aaron Sorkin and Lena Dunham, for example, are exalted. We cannot wholly blame the Internet for this (Reagan-era deregulations did a lot of it, “trickling down” from politics and the economy to the culture) but it served as an accelerate, transforming ours into an “upvote/ downvote” culture, where artistic value is simply a matter of mouse clicks and page views. This has utterly reshaped our relationship to the arts. Art was once a solitary, singular activity, pursued by men and women accompanied by nothing and no one but their genius. Yes, there were patrons (there would be no Michelangelo without the Medicis’ wealth) but the final artwork was the work of the artist’s alone. Now that work is crowd-sourced. Because we all can be artists, it is said that we all are artists.

The .gif perfectly embodies what is wrong with our culture: Instead of letting moments live in conversation and memory, we force technology to help us relive those moments in a choppy, endless loop.
