in us. I decided to use the head of a fellow 1
artist to symbolize the media that we
consume daily on various social media sites. The placement of the window
containing this heavily photoshopped
head is in the very front due to the amount of unnecessary importance we place on consuming media. According to Nielsen
Insights the population of 2018 at the age
of 18 and older spend 11 hours consuming media daily in comparison to the 10 hours spent in 2017. There is an obvious sense of distraction with the help of technology.
Luckily not all is lost; we have the power to fulfill our needs and desires. We can finish tasks and fulfill desires, we just need to manage and prioritize correctly.

intellect.
Too many times can we see the bubble effect, the option taken to block out all opinions opposing the ideas that one
person has, happening to multiple people of all ages. Opinions being created on
social media is such a dangerous option
due to the screaming-like position people
take in topics like politics, health, religion, social standards, and many more. The facilitation of blocking other opinions that social media has only worsens
the situation. One can easily choose
to remove opposition and streamline
promotive material to one’s beliefs ignoring the possibility of taking a productive and
intellectual stand to inform of all options.
With opinions, personal promotion,
and tight-knit circles of information, we
reflect what we want people to see of us,
but are we really ourselves when what we promote are just pixels and numbers? The answer is no, not necessarily. We promotewhat we want our life to be.

belonging worth the struggles? We want to be individual and keep our languages and

how we manage ourselves on the internet via freedom of speech?
“Anonymity Is Not Censorship,” is
the title of my next piece. While its graphic elements are not as saturated as the rest, we can ponder two different positions stated directly in the design.
Firstly, we need to explore why
censorship and anonymity is important to the internet and in terms of law. The internet’s capability to keep people
anonymous has been the leading reason why this now hotly debated topic has not
improved. Anonymity has always been the leading celebrator of personal expression, and the United States of America has
set forth rules to conserve that freedom
in my design, the First Amendment,
expression, assembly and the right to
petition,” but does this code apply to the virtual world? To an extension, yes but
there are many grey areas that the First Amendment does not cover like trolls, hackers, and harassers.
In the censorship aspect, the First
Amendment also covers the freedom
to express but under a pseudonym, or
simply not having to register to a site at
all. The integration of usernames versus
true anonymity is one of the many debates that highlight the grey area of the First
Amendment on cyberculture. One of the biggest examples of this can be seen throughout sites like Reddit, 4Chan
and Something Awful. 4Chan, unlike
the other two, is notorious for the users
sense of morality through true anonymous posting and lack of conversation archival.
The site has increasingly grown in criticism because of how the anonymity shapes 13
?
how the site brings people together.
4Chan.org has an ecosystem that has
given life to not only thousands of memes and cyberculture, but movements that have solidified ideologies and actions
in the last 20 years. While actions like
exposing abusers and calling out racists
have positively impacted the community, the website is known to be one of the
darkest parts of the internet, not counting the darkweb. Conversations that are pro hate-speech, cyber-bullying, murder and abuse confessions have become
some of the most red-flagged topics of 4Chan. The anonymous aspect allows users to really let go, so much so that some conversations plan coordinated movements from as harmless as the
classic Rickrolling to #CutforBieber, that encouraged young girls to harm themselves for a celebrity.
Thankfully, not everything from

keyboards away from users as people
involved with memes, they are taken out of hand and made to be disingenuous, ugly,
and sometimes, completely inappropriate, even for the internet’s standards. Most
of the time, good or mad memes are not entirely traceable to their creator unless credit is desired. Memes range from
wholesome, harmless, neutral to politically incorrect, depending on the version
created. The beauty is that anyone with
access to a device with internet can create a meme in whatever format, to talk about anything. This, again, can lead to once
wholesome memes to become completely about demoting a politician, slandering a
celebrity, or even starting a movement that promotes mass school shootings. Would

misogyny, and this time femicide, is the 2014 Isla Vista Massacre. Elliot Rodger
planned a mass attack based on the idea that “the female human species were
incapable of seeing the value in me,” as
he states in his manifesto. He proclaimed he was an incel, explaining his lonely

manifesto, along with the massacre, was then celebrated by incels online stating that a “brother had gotten revenge.”
