Online Social media Addictions

I was fascinated by the video that I came across on vimeo on Galore Urban Art Festival in Denmark took part in 2013. The video documents artist painting graphite on social media addiction during the festival. The graphite took five days to complete and the video took nine thousand still photos to compile. Galore Urban Art Festival takes part in different countries annually as artists commemorate and showcase their artworks. 

 

The video documents online social media addictions I think the message is just amusing but true. The video is documented in high speed for viewers to keep up with the speed to demonstrate how people feel about social media. The pace of the video equals to the hype that social media has created on us to always keep up with what is happening. 

The comments that were posted were quite interesting as some say “this video is pointless and nothing new that is written”. I totally agree nothing new written in this graphite. The question will be are you aware of these addictions or do you suffer from one? Actually it’s not a matter of old messaging or nothing new, but the matter is how to conquer these addictions.
