Me in Media

Me in Media | Media in a Heartbeat

Artists' Statement:
Media and society are in a more vigorous cycle today than ever before, due to technology's growing role in our world. In the past, media is still defined to be cultural expectations as to how certain groups of people are supposed to look, talk, dress and essentially, live. Whether we live in Vancouver, British Columbia, or in Bali, Indonesia, the media is constantly around us, whether we realize its influence.

Media keeps track of everything that people want to have, whether it's a certain pair of shoes, clothes, or a different body shape. It then throws our wants right back to us to make us think that what we want is actually what we need. In our video we want to portray how media progresses through time with the contribution of technology and social media networks that let society be directly involved and able to contribute their ideas to media.

To fully understand the effect that media has on society today, it's vital to also recognize that society influences media more today than it ever has before. If we have made you think, even a little, about the two-way relationship between society and media, then we will consider ourselves successful in achieving our goal.
