As in the case of Death Grips in my earlier post.
“The new paradigm is not to chase the internet for attention but to embrace it’s chaos”
- Scott Green(check out his youtube page - it’s really cool)
“NewHive is a multimedia publishing platform. “
Lol.Ok. Maybe I’m too old (23). But the newer generation of postmodern intellectuals are just plain weird new gen artists armed with gifs, html and what I believe would be an assortment of drugs and making the internet weird again.
The MTV rebranding also reflects the same attitude.
Fookin ell. I’d been seeing symptoms of this post modern delirium for many years - it’s just now manifested into a commercial avatar - with websites and mainstream tv channels dedicated to the aesthetic (as well as random anonymous tumblr’s by 23 year olds).
Vaporwave is also similarly a ‘what-why’d up aesthetic - primarily for music.
^Here’s something I listened to a lot a few months ago.
These are in essence a revival of the awkward teenage years of the internet - the 90′s into the millenium. I’m waiting a few years for when the 2010-2016 aesthetics of flat design are resurrected and mock design takes it’s place - as is the case with all visual practice. It is all cyclical.
BUT even in my dismissal of these genre’s - there is great admiration and appreciation as an artist. And as a designer I have this gut feeling that I should embrace this post internet chaos and not try to seek justification - as I should expect from my design in the future.
When’s the next resurrection?
I should probably go polish some icon’s and make them glossy for the future.
