This is a project done in a Visual Thinking class for Undergrad... the assignment was to create artwork using a different process than we usually would, so I took a vow of silence for a full week and then created this video artpiece... I cringe watching it now, in retrospect, how distrubing to play in the sand that way!!
Yeah, you can call me Lee 李
Thursday Special: While I was Silent/Respite Beach Meditation
See you soon, Digital Detox!
I've always enjoyed... (social) media, especially the 'creation' part of it. For most social media I use, I began first as a creator, using the platforms to express myself FOR MYSELF. At the beginning of this class, I was excited to possibly excel as a social media artist and bridge my self-expression creator self into a social media content creator/influencer... As the weeks went by and I pushed-pushed, created, interacted, explored... caught covid, had long covid, and watched as Roe V Wade overturned, I hadn't realized that I was living in a dark dark cloud of networkisms. The moment I received the 12am email from Dr. Dennen that it was respite/detox week, I felt that cloud lift. I can't begin to explain how awakened I feel from this 'Detox' assignment. I truly learned something about myself, that a career in social media IS NOT FOR ME. I enjoy content creation... I do not enjoy the hive of social media, even now, as I return, much rested from a week off, I can feel the stormy clouds beginning to surround my mind again...
