Week 8 – The next step

Looking back to the start of this project I can see that social media shares an integral part to the basis of today’s current world.

Week 7 Being Authentic

  To each and every dichotomy the beauty that social media transmits, provide certain users freedom ‘to a certain extent’ and the freedom to explore different loop holes that make this interaction unique and beautiful to engage with. As found within Howard’s Newman adventure to Amsterdam, the simple technology failure, provides us with something that …

Week 6 It is all real! PROMISE

The reality that social media push forward, is one that has always sought to identify itself as pure and perfect in all ways. In this light people with some brains would know that this is a manipulative system that people fall for very easily. Taking into account Zilla Van Den Born fake journey to Asia, …

#Somethingtothinkabout

Week 5 Frustration

Sometimes you need to vent out the suppression that engulfs within this reality that we are unknowingly living in.

Week 3 followtofollow

Looking within the different possibilities to increase followers through the use of #ff #followtofollow #instafollow #instadaily where an increase of request to follow has followed the daily post feed. Similiar to the ‘motherlode and kaching’ from SIMS, the increase of followers is at reach of hand. This reminded me of this : http://kronstadt21.tumblr.com/post/59989944305/youdidwhatnow-assisi-road-by-emiliano-ponzi Where we should follow not follow …

Week 1 thesocialreality

Week 1 has focused within the individual reality that we exist in. The main inspirations that helped me formulate this week set of photographs were the following narratives and facts that I was able to retrieved from surfing the web. 1 http://petapixel.com/2016/04/13/photog-matches-photos-taken-subway/ Russian Photographer who experiments with an interesting APP – Findface and through this …

#2 thejourney

Throughout the past two weeks, I have worked upon discovering and analysing the element of social reality within the eye of a mobile phone. Through this development I started to formulate ideas that move along the elemental quality of living within such a contemporary setting of engaging and exploring the possibility to communicate with one …

SP 2A- Outcome 4 – Post Evaluation 01

Dimensions, Altitudes and Change brings out a sense of alienation that although it can be subtle when placed within a time zone that I have been part of it still revolves a feeling that is beyond the limit of anyone. Heading back home, resolving myself in search of comfort, has been different from what I …
