I would like to talk a little bit about radio project, I am creating with my group.
Our project is based on book “La Société du Spectacle”(1967) by Guy Debord, which was an inspiration to create fictional character “just_cindy”. Book talks about ideology imposed on us by capitalist society that in order to be happier and live better life, we need more products. Over 60 years ago, when ” La Société of Spectacle” was published, there was no such a thing like social media. These days this monster, that was created in early 2000s, is getting bigger and more affecting. Social media allow us to create online new version of ourselves, happier and more successful. We become some kind of advertisers, showing places and products that will change your life. “just_cindy” is an Instagram influencer, whose whole persona was created to make money out of people, who wants to be like her.
Cindy is constructing imitation of reality in which everyone would love to live in.
