No Exit

Gossiping is a natural human reaction as long as people can hear and talk. Most people have the desire to pry into other’s personal lives. There is little consideration for what the truth is; what matters is the enjoyment of the process and the satisfaction of people’s desires. When this desire meets the internet, things that are supposed to be secret are sometimes exposed to the public. This can lead to the public addiction to gossip as an amusement in the networked world, which obscures the boundaries between serious discourse and entertainment in digital media. Moreover, digital media provides a vast stage for gossip; everyone can be an audience member and a performer at the same time. In my project, I’ve tried to visualise an online world. There are some odd creatures in my images that I use to portray that people turn into “mutants” by the effect and use of the digital media. Also, I attempt to present a transparent society by interlacing some different spaces together. Moreover, I have used some digital signs such as computer windows, folders, a search bar (and so on), to be a symbol of the digital media in my works.
