In social media, the thing is not about images. It’s just about the habit, it’s much stronger than the image. Do we realise that we are a generation that depends on discovering new images and on impressions? Each and every interaction in the network and our activity build our virtual personality without which we are not able to function in the real world.
Empty Art Project shows us not only our second personality but also touches upon a very important matter – that is inactivity. The world today does not favour boredom. It cannot simply be there. Over-incentiveness of the contemporary human being is a virtual, common form of slavery. Do we realise that we can’t be here and now linked with our body, linked fully aware with our mind?
What – in that case – is the emptiness of the Empty Art Project – a rebellion, an act of destruction, system hacking. Wake-up from lethargy. And maybe at that time we will be ourselves for a moment. What will happen if 2 billions of users will publish on their social media profiles an empty graphics the same day? Will we be able to escape then? @mishawaks
