This week we discussed visual social media and the new age of misinformation. We specifically discussed the influence of memes, gifs etc on culture and the rapid ways in which they can spread to millions. It was interesting to learn that rather than individual psychology it is often social factors that lead to an individual’s persistent belief in false information.
In class we viewed each other’s assignments – I thought there were some super interesting pieces that represented and explored the themes we have discussed thus far in this course.
Completing and exercise with the Sony X70’s was beneficial for me as it’s been more than a year since I’ve been able to use them (thanks to Covid) and I definitely needed a refresher.
