What do they want and what do they want to make? They dream of possession. They dream of possession of their image. They also try to find out their location by posting pictures of relics.
Let's think of a picture of a character that we usually see. And imagine that the character is looking at a picture of him eating a meal on the table. Are the paintings and still-life paintings of the Netherlands in the 17th century the same? No matter how much you think about it, you can only think that times have gotten weird. The era of drawing a picture on the table with all your might and hanging it on the wall looks very different from the era of us inhaling images with tumblr and pinterest.
Yes, these two paintings presented seem to be in order. The first still-life painting is more expensive, luxurious, picturesque, and the second character painting is public and friendly, and I think anyone can download it. Still, are they both on my blog now? Regardless of the superiority of the two paintings, these two paintings only function as the "image presented" in my blog. (This is a difficult topic. I'll build it up later and present it in a different post.)
In the age of overflowing images, we see many things in the overload of information. Among them, what I want to say today is about the photograph of relics. The act of taking a relic actually served as a kind of guest book that he went to the place where the relic was located to capture it in his eyes. In particular, people in the 19th century confirmed to others that they had conquered the mysterious and exotic ancient culture with their eyes by buying postcards and taking pictures themselves during the Grand Tour.
Then, why did we collect photos of relics like ordinary images? I am not referring to photographs taken by surveying relics, nor to photographs taken at a museum. I wonder if they have seen such blogs or tumblers. Blogging where relics are put up without context. What do they want and what do they want to make to upload relics? They dream of possession. They dream of occupying images. They also try to find out their location by posting photos of relics.
First, the development of the Internet has caused the mental avitus to collapse.
It is an era in which everyone can search for something they are curious about and get answers about it due to information pouring out on the Internet. In these times, opportunities to escape from the group to which one's body belongs and socialize with people with a same mind (hobby or study) increase. They build a community by forming their discourse. This is a healthy Internet environment.
Secondly, there comes self-confusion at the intersection of mental avitus and real life.
At this time, people with problems come out. This is because humans who want to bring this virtual world community into their lives and compare the two. Your appearance in the Internet community will often be wise and professional. However, that may not be the case in life. In such cases, such people begin to collapse their self through the awareness of the problem, 'Where do I belong to?' and 'Why am I not like this in reality?'
Third, trust your spirit (also called the Internet ego) to the image.
There are many problems at this time. There are cases where they flee to online games, or they try harder to confirm their professional self to others. This is the case for "treasure photography tumblr." There is no tone and manner, and they only post pictures of artworks non-context, which they see as professional.
Everything has to be accurate. If you don't know, you have to learn and fill it in your head. Unlike essays from life, writings with professional knowledge do not come from life and social phenomena. So does a thesis. Organize what comes out of someone's head and draw a conclusion in a paragraph. That conclusion is, after all, the thesis author's. In other words, because we are not gods, something suddenly does not come out of our head.
A lot of people write in their fields of expertise here. I'm trying my own way. If that's the intellectual mission that the community has, then I should also try. By the way, it's painful for me to see those types of people. I want to ask them, 'I'm a professional amateur scholar.' What kind of life have you lived on the Internet? Please go back to reality.
