HW 3.2: Artist statement draft)

Social Media is an artistic expression because it’s expressing your humanity. It’s one of the biggest platforms now and most likely always will be , people use it to resolve or give notice to historical event or world issue to spread the word it’s not just about a like button on photos and videos and I’m not against it because it does come with benefits and it can really help society share breaking news that can change the world, which is happening today . It would get better knowing that the disadvantages of social media don’t exist any more, that the programmers and lawmakers did better to respect and secure a person’s privacy to be able to speak louder on what a person wants to share without fear. 

When I chose to write about the privacy of Social Media I found out the creativity it comes with and the impact it has on society where people would post a video of a public figure and in minutes it’s on every page , now people find the identity of that public figure and their location, so much information. Instead of seeing the bigger picture of what a person is trying to spread to the world it’s more important to find out about their life and that only happens because people lose their rights the moment it hits the internet. With that being said my purpose for making this project is to share the issue to bring to people’s attention and for people who are already interested to want to make a change to make it more heard about so it can get to a place where social media is a safe environment to make society better. 

I wanna share this in a more artistic way bringing both old and new in one to be able to catch the younger and older audience’s eye and with an old newspaper with the same aesthetic, just digital that’s a form of art.  Where you swipe left and right and read people’s opinion on this because that’s part of what I would wanna do is ask people ,friends, what they think about the regulations on social media or if they care about it. Researching on how old newspapers would catch a person’s attention whether it was about fashion or political issues, people would read it based on the images and the big huge title and the different stories to read in columns. In those columns I could add the quotes I got from people or online, getting the readers interested to read other than my words and opinions and it is important to hear more than my words. Finally being able to publish it and having people looking,reading it without getting bored and invested in it that’s the point.
