People on the internet can easily be categorized into different types of people. The reason why they can be categorized is that they are all the same. It’s like the copying of one person to another. So is it because of human’s nature that we always imitate each other or is it because of the feature on the internet that leads those internet users this way? This led me to this question of..

Question

What are the factors that shape people on the internet?

Target Audience

People on social media who use the internet every day.

Aim/Objective

The aim of this project is to reflect the internet society recently. I don’t want to say it is wrong or right to imitate or be like others but I want to reflect the human being on the internet.

Progress from Open Studio

I have made a video experiment on Tik Tok. Then combine each video for each dance challenge together.

  • Andy Warhol (1928–1987) was one of the most prolific and popular artists of his time, using both avant-garde and highly commercial sensibilities. Andy Warhol was a successful magazine and ad illustrator who became a leading artist of the 1960s Pop art movements. He ventured into a wide variety of art forms, including performance art, filmmaking, video installations and writing, and controversially blurred the lines between fine art and mainstream aesthetics. Warhol died on February 22, 1987, in New York City.

  • Pop Art : As the 1950’s come to a closing end, the emergence of a new art movement arises. Pop Art brings a new wave of artists that will make their mark in art history. Pop Art’s reintroduction of identifiable imagery drawn from mass media and popular culture was a major shift for the direction of modernism. The subject matter became far from traditional “high art” themes of morality, mythology, and classic history. Rather, Pop artists celebrated commonplace objects and people of everyday life. Pop art movement seeks to elevate popular culture to the level of fine art. Perhaps owing to the incorporation of commercial images, Pop Art has become one of the most recognizable styles of modern art.
