Cabaret Academy Question | Do you think that electorate metaphysics can be affected when it comes to the idea of flesh and emotions as you kind of suggested when it comes to electracy?
“The key for electorate metaphysics is that this line, originating as the line of depiction in the caves all mimesis to articulate an imagined fictional dimension in which. shape may be distorted and reassembled according to its own formal potential guided by imagination.”
Ulmer speaks on how electracy can be taken under all values, specifically family-friendly values when it comes to casinos in Las Vegas and Disneyland with Mickey Mouse. And he speaks about how the creation of Mickey Mouse is a symbol of life and that is shown by the curvature of his features. So if our imagination can be associated with electorate metaphysics and how we are able to associate symbols, can that also happen when it comes to flesh and emotions when we look at things like Mickey Mouse?
Theming Mystory Question | Can we grow and emote sort of in a similar matter by incorporating those memories that we remember from childhood into the future of electracy?
“The paradox is that a caricature of a famous person is more recognizable than a photograph, having to do with the nature of perception and memory.”
Ulmer speaks on how memories of our children were impacted by exposing children to certain items. In the paragraph I took the quote from, he speaks on how Disney did this with the prototype of hyperreality and how Elvis impersonators do the same thing by being able to portray the three important factors that many remember Elvis for. So that kind of reminded me of the Mandela effect. That is when someone thinks that something happened but it never did. Can the ability to connect memory to electracy allow us to be able to unite and change the way of life?
Image 1 | As mentioned prior, I automatically knew what I wanted to do. And I really enjoyed the idea of putting a background to share the message more straightforwardly. So what I did was keep the image of Elon Musk riding the Twitter bird, but made the “Free Speech” gag bigger to read it more. But I also added tweets from Elon Musk himself contradicting the idea he had for “comedy being legal’ on his version of Twitter. I also included his take on free speech from tweets he tweeted earlier this year prior to him buying Twitter. I was interested in it because I have always been a fan of comedy but some comedy has become extremely sensitive because of how cancel culture has become nowadays. And I do agree that comedy should be more openly accepted, but it is so easy to fall victim of cancel culture because of people like Elon Musk taking advantage of their platforms.
Image 2 | For the second image I choose to keep the idea of Maybelline not being a cruelty-free company. I changed the image, a little, and decided to include a more edited badly impacted bunny who has a missing eye from the eyeshadow testing and a chunky of their side missing because of the effect of the beauty powders they test on them. I really wanted to show this image because I have found myself looking more into brands on whether or not they are cruelty-free, even if the brand isn’t makeup related. I have just found myself wanting to make a change in how things are and what brands I support financially moving forward.
Love the twitter messages in the background. Can’t help but read it and laugh.
