ABOVE zum Thema Social Media. „#socialmedia“ Stop Motion Film entstanden in Kopenhagen im Rahmen des GALORE festivals. Sehr gut! Passender Weise hat das Video in den sozialen Netzwerken natürlich schon gut die Runde gemacht.
„People look at me like I’m from another planet when I tell them I don’t have social media like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. In the eyes of social media I’m severely outdated, lost and not ‘connected’.
Not partaking in the aforementioned social media makes me an outsider looking in on how hyper frequent society uses its sacred social media. I can’t help but observe the people around me who appear to be consumed and addicted to trying to keep up to speed on their social media pages.
You check your Facebook page while driving. Tweet a message that you ‘just took a shower’. Instagram a photo of your double soy macchiato with extra foam and so it continues ad infinitum.
I have more questions than I do answers with social media. We live in a ridiculously hyper fast pace life where information is exchanged so rapidly that it makes us feel inadequate and drains our attention span. This painting was executed at the GALORE festival in Copenhagen, Denmark. The painting is a time-lapse composed of over 9,000 photos and painted over a 5-day period. As irony has it this video will be reblogged and seen on social media outlets the world over. Please join in and reblog on your facebook and twitter accounts. Enjoy and try to keep up.“

I take a look at the video and I would greatly appreciate it if you could post the video, and text about the piece on Nerdcore. ***In addition I want the video to ironically be reblogged on Social media such as Facebook and Twitter.“
