Creating an instagram account is alomst a satirical approach. Filters, angles and layout are supposed to enhance the carefully selected and curated image.
Even the Museum of Failure needs this to promote the fundamental concept of constant discard. Hashtags also become very important as they promote trends, trends date though until something better takes its place. Consider the iphone, do you even remember the first couple of models? Because I don't.
What happened to the mass physical products?
Chris Jordan has been a big inspiration and is concerned with this idea. Jordan deals with consumerism using numbers of wasted items for shock value.
This piece of work, Blue 2015, consists of 78,000 plastic water bottles which is equivalent to 1/10,000th of people unable to access clean water on a regular basis. This means 10,000 of these prints would represent everyone unable to access clean water, according to Jordan, if these 10,000 prints were put side by side they would stretch 10 miles.
