Description of idea
Describe your idea and concept of your work in relation to the festival outlines:
This is a work that aims to create dialogue through the use of memeware. Using established platforms such as these, digital and traditional worlds collide, creating new meanings and possibilities.
What kind of communication approach do you use?
Blunt and sometimes provocative - it is through the conflict that dialogue often is enabled to emerge.
What are in your opinion concrete benefits to the society because of your communication?
This question doesn't make sense, but my communication is unique because of the way I see exchange. For instance my view of collaboration is to maintain a tension between the collaborators to see what is unveiled. Instead of a harmonious conclusion, the unpredictable is allowed, same with dialogue; it is a dialogic, Bahktinian approach rather than traditional dialectics.
What did you personally learn from creating your submitted work?
Not a whole lot
Why is your work, GOOD communication WORK?
Simplicity, relevance and open for exchange
Where and how do you intent do implement your work?
Memes are unusual art forms, they are relevant (to now), but communicate through text/pic together which is about forcing meaning for me. It would be about implementing the work in a manner that is inconstant with how the meme is absorbed - the opposite of scrolling through on-screen for instance.
Did your intervention had an effect on other Media. If yes, describe the effect? (Has other media reported on it- how? Were you able to change other media with your work- how?)
Yes, I put text over an image. The work is about dialogue, exchange and irony.
