Hi everyone,
I’m a mom of eight kids, babies all the way up to 17 years old. I’d like to see what you classmates might have to say about the art I’ve seen today on video games and online social media. Media has all categories down like movies/story telling, commercials/propaganda, music videos/poetry. But where I see modern art of today is from the social online culture.
Back then, artists had ancient cultural art and renaissance to first inspire them, and when the world changed from war and industrialism, there was a pain and fear and anger driven voice in the new forms of art being introduced. Whether surrealism and abstraction was trying to bring attention to the unconscious mind or dadaism was trying to give a big middle finger to the world’s injustice, it was pretty ground breaking to say the least of those times. Putting shape and color to feelings and music or spiritual contact into a visual, to make objects with no true function but for display and inspiration, to create collages of political faces attached with the war machines they made; it was art with a message. It feels like to me, all I see online is abstraction art from every angle.
First, lets just admit how out of control ‘fan-made’ art is, for those dopamine pleasure seekers. These artist are really trying to create their fantasies and ‘what if’ scenerios of their favorite characters or idols. But it shows how copying is a form of flattery.
Next is I think, the really absurd brain rot, that I feel was first inspired by early online art of creepy pastas, they’re kind of like myth brought to life. But its really disturbing and sad to see these are the nightmares of our young generation. To name a few, Slenderman, sirenhead, skibbidi toilet, and every other brain rot popping up on YouTube, TikTok, and reddit. Its like a inherited nightmare and trauma that just keeps getting more and more twisted as the generations go on. Proof we all need a little therapy or a lot. Here is our form of surrealism and abstract.
And of course we have to love our future young leaders, the ones who force the message to be seen through graffiti or protest art. That art always has some recognizable achievements we can all appreciate. Topics like racism, gender fluidity, right to personal beliefs, unusual lifestyles, and number one: unjustice. The punk rock of art, like dadaism.
And lastly I’d like to mention, is the video game art. Art you can interact with, play within its dimensions, experience a confrontation so terrifying or embarrassing, and grow from it. Situations you would certainly avoid in real life, and hallucinations you can experience without the use of substance and harm on your body. That doesn’t mean its completely safe to put ourselves in these mind altering states. More surrealism and abstraction.
But I feel I’ve made it very clear how modern art from back then, is sort of the same now but the part that makes our modern art different in this period, its not just the technology giving way and easy to use tools to make art, but it might be a little too strong on its impact on our minds today. So much and sometimes all at once, we move from one art onto the next without getting to really process what we’ve just gazed into before we set our eyes on the next imagination high.
I truly feel art is so impressionable and influential, we don’t see the true power it holds and how unsupervised, the damage it can cause as well. Art is a power that needs to be reveranced with wisdom. It is a super power. Its the key to the display of our souls. Let us remember that. Lets try imagining things for the better and then give a blue print or show of that vision. Lets envision the hopes we all want in society and mankind to build towards in the future. I challenge you new artists, it is way too easy to make negative outcomes.
Art can be too revealing and we accidentally put ourselves up for mock and shame. So maybe we should hold art closer to ourselves in a sacred and more intimate way, only those closest to us should have permission to see that hidden side of ourselves. I’m not saying what is hidden is bad, it could be beautiful too, but the world is a cruel place and that is exactly why we should try to make it less cruel. And I have to say be aware of this new changing world, AI can do much harm to our image and reputation. Discretion is advised, hide your face. You as a person is more valuable then the art we put out. Don’t let the world make you feel you have to earn recognition. We can make good profound changes in the world, without ever having to show our faces and names, be humble, let art build each other up, not break each other down. Art is a double edge sword, you may want to cut one way, but it could still cut another unintentionally. Behind every art, there’s an intention. Do not examine naively.
