The Lips of Thomas (1976) Marina Abramovic |
After starting to research on Post modernism and post humanism, also the idea of self- cannibalism that I started to get more interest on the idea of that the Doctor Frankenstein, the purpose of finding out the secret of creation of life, or the pursuit of God's power. Instead, it is becoming actually rather freaky now.
I started to have this idea that actually now, we are our own Doctor Frankenstein, but the idea we were being implanted by the mass media, self reflexivity, constantly criticising the self, the desire of wanting to be better and better, refusing to accept failure, finding another way out.
We create our ideal social identity through our interaction such as posts and shares on Facebook so that we can show our friends that our interests and passion which now known as identity construction.
other social media as such like twitter, creating witty comment and interact with hash words also tweeting constantly in order to catch up with new trends, using dramatic adjectives in order to increase followers.
in this way we had to transform ourselves into another personality or agree, or pretend to be excited about things that we might not originally care.
Here are movies and interviews that interests me recently and I found it is related to my research process.
Also, I started to make these connection to what Judith Butler's argument on the performantivity of female in the society.
From Angelina Jolie talks about Self-Harm.
