Durign this semester. I decided to explore the idea of lonely in the background of advanced technology.
The idea basically is related to megacity with full-filled people, high communication tech, trying to interpret why we get lonely feeling under such context.
The focus on the project would make a comparison between a seemingly nice life showed in social media and the reality under it. For example: a seemingly harmony family life on social media showed from one may be experiencing family violence. One is talking with others in many groups on social media but working overtime by himself with instant food in a cold concrete building in reality.
The idea will be expressed as animation or CG pictures(For example, an empty place in a city with trace left by crowds but no one anymore)
The aim of the work after finishing, is to trigger the thought between this lonely feeling and high technology development.
The reason for doing this work is trying to rise thinking on the phenomenon of technology use. Public right now is shifting attention from people around them to gadgets on their hands trying to find social belongings and claiming that they are lonely.
If successful, the work will show excellent in the aspect of telling a story to draw attention and rise different thoughts from people on current social phenomenon.
People who is doing the similar thing I got inspiration from is one visual artist call zaoeyo’s work for Pause Fest 2017 which deliver the feeling correctly to the audience I think. Different from him, the story telling would be totally different and the visual effect would be a bit different but the emotion in the film is what I should learn from.
