Social Media Day: Hoe Joëlle Dubois de impact van sociale media bevraagt

Op 30 juni is het Social Media Day! Sinds 2010 wordt op die dag de impact van sociale media op onze globale communicatie gevierd. Het is immers niet te ontkennen dat ons leven veranderd is sinds de opkomst van Facebook, twitter en co.  Iedere persoon heeft namelijk de kans om een boodschap op het internet te plaatsen. De meeste posts gaan onopgemerkt voorbij, maar sommige pareltjes (?) worden geliket, gedeeld en geretweet. Ideeën worden zo snel, gemakkelijk en efficiënt verspreid. 


Joëlle Dubois is een Belgische kunstenares die woont en werkt in Gent. Ze onderzoekt in haar werk de impact van sociale media. Momenteel exposeert ze in het S.M.A.K. in Gent met haar kleurrijke werken. Als een stille observeerder werpt ze een humoristische non-judgemental kijk op de hedendaagse taferelen onder invloed van sociale media. 

 

 


De invloed van sociale netwerken is voelbaar buiten zijn digitale grenzen. Voordat we het vergeten, de sociale media speelde een grote rol in de (r)evolutie van de Arabische lente. Om nog maar te zwijgen over de activiteiten van IS-ronselaars op netwerken zoals Twitter. Na de recente aanslag op het vliegveld in Istanbul, blokkeerde de Turkse overheid voor verschillende uren platformen zoals Twitter en Facebook. Nog steeds niet overtuigd van de invloed van sociale media? Laat de volgende werken van Dubois je overtuigen.

Discovering dub culture and its influence on music at Couleur Café

Dub: it’s something everybody knows but on the other hand, nobody truly knows. It’s a culture and music that is embedded throughout society in various ways which had a big influence on music and still does today. Dub music founded its roots on the Caribbean island Jamaica, yes that country where Bob Marley was born. What not so many people know is that this is also kind of the place where the roots of hip-hop and many other genres and musical traditions were born. Since then it has spread out over the world and established itself as a subculture with a broad following. We sat down with the guys from Roots Corner sound system at Couleur Café who hosted their very own dub corner stage with their soundsystem for three days straight.
