The Cindy Sherman Effect
Quote 1: "We live in the era of YouTube fame and reality-TV shows and makeovers, where you can be anything you want to be any minute of the day, and artists are responding to that."
Response: With the rise of social media, people can showcase their talents and personalities online, which has led to an increase in fame and opportunities for artists. They can create work that challenges traditional concepts of beauty, and they can also create work that celebrates it.
Quote 2: "Artistic personae can not only be instantly created but also instantly animated and disseminated."
Response: With the rise of social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter and YouTube, it has become easier than ever to create a digital artistic personality and share it with the world. These platforms have also allowed artists to present their work to a wide audience.
New York Times | The Ugly Beauty of Cindy Sherman
Quote 1: "She uses herself because it's simpler, she says. She can push herself harder than any model, and she can avoid small talk."
Response: Sherman's self-portraits are not intended to represent herself, but rather to explore the idea of identity and representation. By using herself as a role model, she can more easily explore different identities and roles, as well as challenge traditional ideas about beauty and femininity.
Quote 2: "There's this tendency by those powers that be to obfuscate meaning and to take power away from language by robbing it of its truth."
Response: By taking away the power of language, those in power are able to control the narrative and manipulate the public's perception of reality. This allows them to spread false information and keep people in the dark. Furthermore, those in power can manipulate people's understanding of the facts and make it more difficult to challenge their decisions.
